Greetings,
I would like to provide an update regarding recent delays on some of our bus routes. At the beginning of each school year, transportation times can be longer than usual as drivers become familiar with their routes and students are added to or moved between routes.
These challenges are compounded by a current shortage of bus drivers, an issue currently affecting many school districts. At times, the shortage requires us to temporarily combine routes, which can increase the amount of time students spend on the bus.
Please be assured that addressing these delays is a top priority. We are actively working to improve our routes and reduce transportation times as quickly as possible.
If you are interested in becoming a bus driver and joining our outstanding transportation team, please contact our Director of Transportation, Kimberly Karaszewski, at kkaraszewski@rb157.org for more information.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve these issues.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tom Lind
Superintendent of Schools

Thanks, Mrs. Zaremba for sharing! "The 5th graders completed their final project for this year by creating their own authentic sugar skulls! It was a fun way to experience one of the most popular traditions of Dia de los Muertos."
Throwback to 1st Grade's last field trip of the school year. They went to the Nippersink Public Library.
Third Grade's Community Walking Field Trip:
Each year the third graders have the opportunity to walk downtown Richmond and visit some of the local businesses and historical homes. They learn about their history and how the business runs. This year's stops included: Anderson's Candy Shop (delicious chocolate lollipops were purchased), Richmond Café (wonderful strawberry/banana smoothies were shared), our local Post Office (with opportunities to sit in the driver's seat of the mail truck), and a stop on the way back at John and Jules Ennis's beautiful historic home on Broadway that was built in 1898-126 years old!!
Thank you to our community businesses and historical homes for letting us stop and learn more about you!
Earlier this month, 5th-grade students in Mrs. Eisch’s class organized engaging activities for their kindergartner buddies in Mrs. Peterson’s class! These activities were designed to emphasize cooperation and teamwork skills. They all had a blast!
