If your child is planning on riding a different bus home you need to get approval from the bus director. We have buses that are at capacity and they need to make sure there is room for another rider. Please email the bus director at goplt@mgsredbirds.org prior to the date. Thank you!

Meet your Heroes on September 9th from 11am-2pm on the Square!
Reminder!! Drop off in front: ALL vehicles including golf carts need to proceed through the drop off line and pull up as far as you can before letting your child out of the car. For the safety of our students we ask them to exit the car on the passenger side by the sidewalk. Parents that want to walk students to the sidewalk or to the front doors must park and use the crossing area to the sidewalk.
Pick up on Madison Street: There is NO parking and getting out of your cars. Please pull ahead to the end of the sidewalk so that many cars can pick up students at once. The students will wait on the sidewalk or shelter next to Madison Street until you reach the sidewalk area. For the safety of the students, they will enter the car on the passenger side only. Any students not picked up by 3:15 PM will be taken to the front office to contact their family.
*Pets are not allowed on school property unless there is prior approval or its a service dog performing its duty.
