USD 409 Families:
We will be running afternoon routes on Friday. Although the forecast "feels like" temperatures are a tad cooler due to lower humidity levels, it will still be hot. We encourage any of you who are able to pick up your student in order to shorten routes.
Thanks for your understanding.

Today on our countdown, a reminder that all students eat free this year! You must complete the Household Economic Survey to help families with their textbook and tech fees. If you didn't do that during enrollment, there will be copies at each of the schools.
