Buses/Transportation
There is a chance we may not have enough buses for Saturday (the district is still short on drivers). To help in this scenario, we are asking families who might be able to drive their students to fill out the activities/athletics transportation waiver. This doesn't mean families HAVE to take their students if we have the buses we need on the day, but it allows options for us to make sure students can get to the competitions.
