Good evening Lashmeet Matoaka families! We have a couple of important announcements for you. We hope you all can join us tomorrow from 3:00-5:00 for our annual meet the teacher event. As we start the school year, please be patient with our bus drivers. It may take a week or so to get their actual pick up and drop off times accurate. I would be at the bus stop several minutes early to ensure you are there when they come by. We do have some changes to our bus routes. Students that rode bus 664 and live on Cemetery Hill will now ride Adam Howell's bus 605 from the Matoaka Fire Department stop. Students that rode on Bus 664 and live on Rock Road/Route 71 will now ride Adam Howell's bus 605 at the same spots.
Student that rode on bus 665 and live in Lake Bottom will be picked up by Mark Selvey around 7:10 A.M. at the same spots. Waylon Carter, bus 656 will be running about 10 minutes early. As a reminder, students cannot be dropped off at the loop before 6:05 A.M. Our tardy bell rings at 7:30 and dismissal is at 2:20. We look forward to our students heading back to school and we anticipate having a great year!
