Berlinda began her career as one of our special needs drivers before working her way to Route A. In addition to safely transporting generations of students, she also served as PSE President for several years, advocating for and supporting her colleagues along the way. Outside of work, Berlinda has enjoyed attending plays and cheering on athletes at girls volleyball games.
Thank you, Berlinda, for your years of commitment, leadership, and care for our students and staff. We wish you all the best in your retirement!

Return of SmartTags – End of School Year Reminder
This is a friendly notice that all student SmartTags must be returned on the last day of school or the last day your student rides the bus.
Please ensure your student hands their SmartTag directly to their bus driver when exiting the bus.
If a SmartTag is lost or not returned, please contact your school office or the Transportation Department for further guidance.
We hope all of our students, staff, and families enjoy a safe and relaxing three-day weekend as we take time to remember and honor those who have served.

Today, April 27th, our schools will be conducting a routine safety drill as part of our regular emergency preparedness procedures. These drills are held periodically throughout the school year to help ensure students and staff are familiar with safety protocols.
Families will receive notifications from their child(ren)'s schools through ParentSquare. This is only a practice drill, and there is no cause for concern. Thank you for your continued support of our schools.
We are grateful for the many volunteers who give their time, energy, and care to support our students, staff, and schools. From classrooms to events, your contributions make a meaningful difference every day.
Thank you for helping create a strong, supportive learning community—we couldn’t do it without you.
We are in the final stages of implementing our new integrated alarm and notification system. On Wednesday, April 8, a team will be on-site testing equipment to ensure everything is functioning as intended.
Testing will take place between approximately 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Schools are currently closed for spring break, and we ask that no staff or community members enter district buildings during this time.
This work supports our continued focus on school safety. Thank you for your awareness.
