Message from our Admin: Ride the bus NOW through February 10th to help fund SASC Transportation If you have or ever plan to use our bus system, please consider having your child(ren) ride the bus (morning or afternoon) just once between 1/27 and 2/10. For each child that rides the bus, our school will receive valuable funding from the state. Students must be registered to ride the bus before they are permitted to ride. We depend on state funds to keep our buses running and servicing the many students who rely on the bus system to bring them to school. Our bus schedule can be found HERE. For quick and easy online registration, click HERE. (FTE Surveys provide the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) with a snapshot of instructional activity including transportation occurring in Florida's public schools and provide the data used to fund schools.)
