9.7.23 Staff Blog

 Quick Look:

Safety reminder!! We have two active large bees nests on campus. One is in front of the building (200th side of the building) and one is at the dots where we dismiss at the end of the day. We have submitted a work order (Thanks Jim!) and our district maintenance team is aware of the issue. There are multiple reports of bees nests across the district and they will get to it as soon as possible. In the meantime, please be aware of these areas and keep yourself at a distance. We will make sure students stay clear during dismissal.
