🚍 Bus Driver Orientation Day: Preparing for the First Day of School
Today our bus drivers are gathering for orientation as they prepare for the first day of school. As the first and last friendly faces students see each school day, they play an essential role in safe, welcoming journeys for our families across Lakeland Catholic. We’re grateful for their service and excited for the year ahead!
Important Updates:
Bus drivers will begin calling parents starting tomorrow (Aug. 22) to share bus numbers and pick-up/drop-off times.
Today is the last day to register new students for busing to guarantee a seat for the first day of school. Registrations after today may take up to two weeks to process.
Transportation fees are free for all eligible students.

Yesterday marked the start of our Leadership Formation series for the year!
Principals and vice principals gathered for a full day of faith formation, collaboration, and planning to guide our schools with vision and purpose. From reflecting on LCSD's Education Assurance Plan to engaging in professional learning, safety planning, inclusive education, and curriculum updates, the day provided a powerful foundation for the year ahead.
