Babysitter/Childcare Transportation Requests: Bus routing for the 2026-2027 school year will soon begin. If your child requires transportation to and from a babysitter or childcare provider for the upcoming school year, please complete the Babysitter/Childcare Information Form.

All requests should be submitted via the online form by the state mandated deadline of April 1, 2026. Submitting your request by this deadline allows the transportation team to plan routes, assign buses, and confirm schedules before the school year begins. Requests received after the April 1 deadline may not be processed in time for the start of the school year. 

Requests received in August (close to the start of the school year) will not be processed during the first two weeks of school as bus routes are established and families have been notified. Families will need to make alternative arrangements for a student’s babysitter/childcare transportation during this time period. We encourage you to make requests as soon as possible to avoid any disruption in service.

Did you know February is National Bird-Feeding Month? First grade students and some very special guests in Mrs. Adler’s class at Smith Clove, got a jump on the celebration by making their own bird feeders. The class read The Winter Bird, which explains how some birds don’t migrate and must stay through the cold winter, learning to find food in harsh conditions. The story also teaches a great lesson about adapting to change, something these first graders are learning every day. šŸ¦ā„ļø
