🚌 ALL ABOARD THE ELSBERRY EXPRESS! 🚌
Back-to-school season is officially here, Indian Nation! The big yellow machines are tuned up, the coffee is brewing for our amazing drivers, and the bus routes for the new school year are locked in! 🎒✨
Whether your kiddo is a front-row early riser or a back-row nap master, here’s how to make morning pickup a breeze:
Spot Your Route: Double-check your stop times and route numbers on the district portal before Monday morning.
The 5-Minute Rule: Have your student at the stop 5 minutes early—those buses have a schedule to keep and places to go!
Safety First, High Fives Second: Remind your kids to wait for the bus to come to a complete stop and give a big smile to their driver!
Let’s make this the smoothest commute of the year. Drop a 🚌 in the comments if your student is ready to roll!

Our Elsberry 4th graders have officially set sail on their latest literary journey: Treasure Island! To kick off the hunt for adventure, the hallways were filled with eye patches, tricorne hats, and plenty of "Arrrghs" as students dressed the part of their favorite swashbucklers. 🦜
We’re so proud of these young explorers as they dive into this classic tale of mystery and gold. Stay tuned for more updates from the high seas (also known as the 4th-grade wing)!

Spring Personality Picture Day is coming up, and we need your help spreading the word to families. While Wagner sends reminders directly, parents are far more likely to take action when the message comes from you.
It’s important for families to participate in Spring Picture Day because their purchase directly funds our ability to provide your school with safety and security tools, student recognition programs, and other valuable photography services. School outreach to parents on our behalf is essential to making that possible!
