Traffic has been terrible and now it is having a negative impact on our buses and their arrival times at school. After contacting First Student Bus Company and looking at our options, I feel confident that they are on top of this situation and doing everything they can to deal with these frustrating circumstances. First Student is having their drivers report earlier so that they are at the first stop on time. They are staying in contact with IDOT to anticipate any changes in traffic routing and communicating with our office regarding buses that are caught up in traffic. At this point, I do not want to have students report to their bus stops any earlier in the morning. Team leader and I will soon be meeting to come up with a plan for our first period students who are missing class time. I will keep monitoring this situation, which could be an issue well into November.
Our Halloween extravaganza is Friday, October 28th from 6-8p.m. Tickets can be purchased the week of October 24-28th during lunch periods or the evening of the party. This is a fun event and I recommend parents come into the building to see Mr. Murphy and me; our costumes are going to rock!

Finally, with the Cubs on the verge of signing Theo Epstein, I recommend all of my baseball loving dads go see the movie Moneyball. It gives you an idea how the cyber-metric approach to baseball to which Theo subscribes works. I made my wife go see it after I had to sit through the movie One Day.
