Bus Rider update:
Good evening... The blue bus driver (Mary) will be calling her parents this weekend regarding new bus times for the AM pickup; this includes green bus route students. We will have staff in the office at 645am on Monday if you have any questions.
Bus Rider Parents:
We have NOT been successful finding a bus driver. This has forced us to combine routes starting on Monday. All students that were on the Green bus are now on the Blue bus. Some Blue bus will be on the Yellow bus. NOTES OF NEW A.M. PICKUP TIME ARE GOING HOME TODAY WITH ALL BUS RIDER STUDENTS. Please be patient with our drivers as we navigate through this. If you would like to drop off or pickup your child, please call the school to let us know immediately so we can let our bus drivers know. In the mean time we will continue to look for a bus driver and appreciate your understanding in this matter. If you have any questions or know anyone interested, please call the school, 618-532-7329.
We need a bus driver and cook. If you know anyone that would be interested, please have them call the school for more information.
Thank you!

From the Booster Club regarding spirit wear orders:
It has been brought to our attention that some people were having issues with their spirit wear shirts cracking after only a few wears. It was specifically the one with the sports logos on it. We spoke to Minor League about this issue and they ask people who are experiencing cracking of their shirts to send in a picture of it to their sales email with their shirt style and size. Their sales email is sales@minorlg.com. Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience!
