💙 Friday is Officer Appreciation Day! 💙 Let's take a moment to recognize our amazing Cave Springs Officer, Officer Stewart! 👮♂️ Every day, he bravely directs traffic, no matter the weather—freezing temperatures, rain, sleet, or sunshine! ☔️🌞 He walks our halls, connects with students and parents, and ensures we’re all well taken care of. He goes above and beyond to help foster a safe and welcoming environment. His commitment to every owl's safety is genuinely commendable. Let's take a moment on Friday to recognize the value he brings to our community! 👮♂️

Today is the day!! We are so excited to have our owls back in their home away from home. Share with us why “ESE is the place to be!” in the comments below.
Additionally, here are some quick reminders to prepare you for the first day of school!
*Car riders, please be patient with us. Not only will it take a couple of weeks to establish our dismissal routine, but we are anticipating a large number of car riders, especially during the first few days of school. The car line will be long and can take up to an hour or longer to get through while we teach our students the dismissal routine.
*To request new bus service or to see your bus route for this fall, download the BusQuest app and submit a request. Bus times may fluctuate, so be sure to check your child’s route information prior to the start of school. One important note for your family; once you sign up for transportation service with BusQuest, you’ll still use the BusCompass app to see real-time updates and to know when the bus is within three bus stops of your child’s stop. Instructions for both apps were sent in our Welcome Back Parent letter.
*Send a water bottle and snack with your child.
*Doors open at 7 A.M., and the tardy bell will ring at 7:30 A.M.
We can't wait to hear from you why “ESE is the place to be!” Please share with us in the comments below. Let's GOOO OWLS!
