BUS #001 UPDATES-

We would like to keep you informed that, unfortunately, Mr. Chris’ last day with our Imagine LWR Family will be Thursday, October 7th. Mr. Chris joined our team last year and we commend him for his dedication to the school, staff, students and families.  

We understand that not having transportation for Bus #001 can cause a lot of hard times for our students and families.  For this reason, we have immediately begun to interview for this position.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.  We will do our best to find the most appropriate candidate to help and support our transportation team. Please let us know if you know of anybody who might be interested.  During these next couple of days we will continue to keep you all informed.

Stay Safe, Strong, and Healthy.

Your PAC Team 

• Fall Pictures PK3-8th RETAKES-Will take place October 11, 2021 
• Covid and Health Protocols-If your child develops symptoms including fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, or flu-like symptoms please stay at home and contact a healthcare provider and the school immediately. With the quick and rapid growth of Covid numbers in our community this past week and to help minimize the spread in our school, please remember that it is strongly encouraged to wear masks when indoors.  Quarantine is still taking place for individuals who are exposed.  The health and well-being of our students and staff is paramount. We rely heavily on parents and guardians as the first line of care and awareness for potentially ill students. Please do not report this information in a voice mail message but speak with the school nurse or Ms. Quinones. If you have been tested for Covid-19 and are awaiting test results you may not return to campus until you have received your test results.
