If students forget or misplace their passes, they will still be able to ride to school.

Physical Wellness News
.Appropriate Footwear
As we, hopefully, ease into fall and winter, please send your child to school everyday with shoes
appropriate for safe and efficient movement on the playground and in the gym. 
It is common for students who incur injuries to be wearing inappropriate footwear.
Sandals, crocks and boots inhibit a child’s ability to travel safely and give their best effort. 
Live Well,
Joseph Bazzanella
