Jayhawk Elementary has adjusted their car rider line. Administration hopes that these changes will eliminate the backup for district buses, and allow students a smoother dismissal. These changes went into effect August 15. Additionally, administration at Jayhawk Elementary is asking parents and guardians to call the office prior to 2 p.m. for any transportation changes to help keep dismissal running smoothly. All students are dismissed at 3:25 p.m.
