We have a sub driver who is going to fill in until our regular driver can return which will bring us back to four routes starting tomorrow morning, Friday the 8th. Routes will adjust and become shorter so we are advising parents to send their children to the bus stop 10 to 15 minutes LATER than normal. Evening drop offs will also adjust to an earlier time since routes will be shorter. Thank you for your patience and pick up and drop off times should stabilize by the end of next week.

Parents, we apologize for the inconvenience, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we will have to switch back to 3 routes starting tomorrow.

This is an important announcement from the Rich Hill School District. On Monday, we will begin running 4 routes again. This will continue for 6 weeks. We will do our best to have someone trained to take over the 4th route at the end of 6 weeks. If we cannot get someone trained, we will have to return to 3 routes. On Monday, please be patient as bus drivers adjust their routes. Pickup and dropoff times may change some so please make sure to watch for your bus Monday morning.

Little Cheer will perform at half time. The rock bleachers, sand pile, back of the old gym, and chainlink fence has been infested with red and yellow and black wasps. The area has been treated multiple times, but not all areas have been eliminated. Please keep children with you when they are not cheering. For safety reasons, golf carts will only be allowed into the stadium to go to a purchased Booster Club spot or to drop off a disabled individual with a chair or at the bleachers and then leave the stadium.

The year is off to a great start in the elementary school!! A few reminders to help things run as smoothly as possible: Each morning, students being dropped off need to wait in vehicles until the doors open at 7:35 am. Walkers should not arrive at the school until 7:35 am, as there is no adult supervision outside. Students who are eating breakfast at school need to be at school by 7:40 am. Class begins at 7:56 am. At the end of the day, the one-way pick-up line is working great. Thank you for helping keep students safe by staying in your vehicle and pulling through the line as your child is called to load. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing your children with us!!!

Well, the first week is down! Even though it was only 3 days, I think everyone is ready for the weekend. Thank you to all the parents who started transporting their children to and from school. This has helped with bus crowding tremendously. Please note that Homecoming is early this year. It will be on September 20 against Appleton City. The TShirt order form is attached to this message. You only have 6 days to get your order in. Order forms will be sent home with elementary students today. Finally, it is with regret that we cancel JH Football this year. With only 8 players out for the team, we felt that the risk of injury or having to forfeit a game if a player cannot take the field is too high to continue. The boys and cheerleaders are obviously disappointed. The boys were offered the opportunity to serve as managers for Varsity so they can help on the sidelines and become a part of team culture. Cheerleaders will continue to practice as they prepare for basketball season and will be involved in Little Cheer. We anticipate a large number of boys out for JH Football next year, so we are optimistic this is a one-year problem. Thanks for sending us your amazing kids every day! Have a great weekend!

Hello parents! I hope your children had a good first day of school. We have seen an increase in enrollment and as you know our bus routes have dropped to 3 until we can find another driver. These buses are very crowded and we got everyone home safe today. We are trying to put as many as 4 children per seat which means loading is a challenge so please do not change your child’s drop off location unless it is an emergency. If you have the availability to drop your child off or pick them up, I’m sure your child and all of those who must ride the bus will thank you! Also, this is the second year for all parent drop-off and pick-up being at the dome. For student safety, no children should be picked up in the student and faculty parking lot or dropped off there in the morning. If your child is trying to go out these doors, they will be redirected to the dome entrance to get picked up. If they manage to get past the teachers on duty or go out another entrance to sneak around to the student lot, just like last year they will face disciplinary action. We do have cameras viewing those exits and the parking lot so we will be able to identify children. All of these regulations are to protect the more than 330 students we serve from preschool to 12th grade. Thank you for your help as we try to get the school year off to a good start.

Dear Parents, School begins on Wednesday morning at 7:56am and we look forward to having your children back with us for the 2024-25 School Year. We are facing a bus driver shortage and so we will need your patience and cooperation regarding school transportation. For now, we will have 3 routes until we can train and hire another driver. All of our current drivers are retirees with limits on the number of hours they are permitted to work. Due to this, drivers cannot wait for children to come out of houses after the driver has stopped and honked the horn multiple times. Children need to be waiting at the bus stop when the driver approaches the stop. If the driver stops and children are not visible, the driver will proceed to the next stop. Children who miss the bus will need to be delivered to the school by the parent because drivers will not be able to return the house. The same applies in the evening. Bus drivers will drop the child at the designated bus stop. The driver is not responsible for verifying a parent is home before departing the bus stop. Parents must ensure there is an adult waiting at the designated stop. The school receives 20 to 40 bus drop off changes per day and each one requires the teacher, the child, and the bus driver to be notified by the office secretary. This takes time and creates confusion, especially when we do not receive calls until the last 15 minutes of school. Please try to call before 2pm if there is an emergency situation where a child needs delivered to another location than their normal stop. Please minimize call-ins to change your child’s drop off location as we are trying to deliver over 200 children home every day and each change increases the chance of the child getting delivered to their normal stop instead of the one you have requested that day. The first few days of school are always a challenge as we figure out how long routes will take and what time the bus will arrive. Because our routes will be longer, we are unsure of when buses will be at your home location. If you are in a rural location, please be looking for your bus as soon as 15 minutes before your normal time and it may arrive later than usual. Town route children should begin watching for their bus by 7am and most children will be picked up by 7:35am. Each day your bus time will become a little more accurate, but children should always be ready for their bus 10 minutes before it normally arrives. Thank you for helping us keep school buses the safest form of transportation in the United States.
