Transporting our students to and from school each day in a safe and secure fashion, while no small feat, is an occurrence that many of us take for granted. Our bus drivers are often the first and last personal contact that students have with the school each day. Transportation supervisor Tracy Imler and the drivers take this responsibility seriously and consistently provide safe and reliable transportation for our students each and every day---rain, snow, or shine!
