ALL buses out for Elementary routes by 7:45 this morning! Best time all week! Parents, please remember this is first day with kindergarten and Prek students. Please be patient. #UNITE
Transportation Update:
A significantly better day today! We met personally with ANY student who was unsure of which bus to ride and gave them colored reminder cards to help them board the correct bus. We also created customized communication lists and communicated via text with parents on each bus as it left the elementary. Our route times decreased significantly today due to these tweaks.....Kudos to our drivers and elementary staff!
We know that we have one route, bus 2, that is still running late and are working to have a solution by Friday. We will communicate with the impacted parents individually.
Tomorrow is the first day for PreK and Kindergarten riders. Please be patient as we will most likely slow a bit due to pictures being taken and having our youngest G-Men riding for their first time!
Thank you again for your patience as we fine-tune our routes.
Go G-Men!

James A Garfield High School is sponsoring a Mum Fundraiser. Order yours on www.myschoolbucks.com and see the school website for more information.
Today we had some obstacles on our bus routes in the afternoon. As a staff, we are disappointed with how we communicated with parents and the fact that these routes ran late. We have already met to address these issues and are working to make them better for you beginning immediately. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make things better each day moving forward. Our sincerest apologies to anyone who was impacted by a late bus. We will be better. ~Ted Lysiak
Bus 2 and bus 7 are finishing up their routes now. They are experiencing delays. Thank you for your patience.
A huge thanks to our bus drivers this morning! The updated routes went well, running a little late but nothing worse than a first day in past years! Thanks parents for trusting us with your children and being patient on day 1! #UNITE
Welcome back G-Men! Make it a great year at Garfield! Good to have you back! #UNITE
