Princeton families whose students ride Bus 15 and 50 may receive additional information through the FirstView app or from their school.

Please bring appropriate identification. We are only calling families on impacted buses; otherwise, you will receive only a text message and email to keep you informed.

If your student's bus is not listed above, transportation is operating as scheduled.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as the transportation team works to cover all service routes.

Thank you.

Evendale second graders were using problem solving to make sure the bears did not go into the lava...the floor is lava. They had to build a structure to save as many bears as they could. Great thinking!

Students at Evendale 🍎 Speech Group: Apple Fun🍎
Today, our kiddos participated in Speech Group, where the lesson focused on counting apples, describing them, comparing sizes, and identifying different shapes and colors.
We also discussed different ways to bob for apples in water! After discussing several options, the kiddos used a large spoon to scoop one or two apples out of the tube of water. 🥄🍎
To wrap up the activity, the kiddos put their new skills to work by sharing with the class the color, size, and shape of their apple. They did an amazing job communicating what they observed and sharing the information they learned!
