Supe's On: July 28 is bus pass purchase deadline

With the Fourth of July upon us, the start of another school year is quickly approaching. However, it is not too late for students to meet their summer reading goal. Like all goals – if you put it off until tomorrow, it will never come. 

The Brandon Valley School District has partnered with Siouxland Libraries and Pizza Ranch of Brandon to make the Summer Reading Program possible. Students that meet their goal are eligible for various prizes, including a free kids Pizza Ranch buffet or small pizza. I want to send a giant shout-out to all our Lynx that have already met their summer reading goal. Great job – Keep reading the rest of the summer!

With the start of the school year on the horizon it is critical that all families that use school transportation in the fall contact the Transportation Department to be placed on the ridership roster. There will be Transportation Open Houses held from 4-8 p.m. on July 10, July 20, and July 28. 

The deadline for purchasing a bus pass or notifying the Transportation Department of ridership is Friday, July 28. Students whose passes are purchased, or ridership confirmed after the deadline will be eligible for transportation no earlier than Monday, Oct. 2, 2023.

Go Lynx!
