Good afternoon,
This notice is to let you know of an upcoming bus time change for your student. You child currently rides Mr. Merl’s bus, which is a bus that has a daily, double route servicing the Flora area. Due to an increase in the number of students being serviced by these routes, one of these routes is overcrowded. To help ensure student safety, and relieve this overcrowding, we will be making a bus route change starting this Thursday, November 16, 2023.
If you are receiving this message, your child will be picked up and dropped off approximately 15 minutes earlier in the morning and afternoon. We ask for your patience as we work out exact timing for each stop, and please know by the end of next week we should be back to a consistent pickup/drop off time. In the interim, we ask that you please have students to their bus stop 15-20 minutes earlier than their current time, and expect students to arrive home 15-20 minutes earlier in the afternoon.
Again this change will be in effect this Thursday, November 16.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Our goal is to provide each student adequate room on the bus both to and from school. We look forward to ensuring your child’s safety and comfort with these necessary changes.
Have a great afternoon!
Parents of some students who ride the bus from Flora (Bus #14) received information today in regards to routes changes that will take effect on Thursday. Only students who are effected by these changes were notified. If you have further questions, please contact the office on Wednesday.

This year we have implemented the bulk of the 8 Steps Instructional Process. Behind the scenes this morning teachers are looking at recent common formative assessment data. They will use this to create groups, and plan 30 minute daily intervention/extension lessons for all students. This work ensures all student, regardless of their grade level teacher, work towards mastering the grade level high priority standards.
