During back-to-school professional development, our school bus drivers participated in autism awareness training and reviewed student Behavioral Intervention Plans (BIPs), medical plans, and communication needs.

Thank you to our dedicated bus drivers for their commitment to continuous learning and for the important role they play in helping students begin and end each school day safely. We appreciate all you do for our students and families! 🚌
