• Bus Safety Reminder: For everyone’s safety, instruments must fit under the seat to keep aisles clear. Instruments cannot sit in the aisle or slide back and forth, as this creates a safety hazard. If an instrument cannot fit safely under the seat, families will need to make other arrangements for transportation of instruments.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

Sincerely,

Principal Shore  //  ShoreJ@gcs.k12.nc.us
