As we head into the new school year, let’s all do our part to keep our kids safe! ⚠️ Slow Down: Reduce your speed in school zones and be extra cautious near bus stops. 🚦 Stop for the Bus: When those red lights are flashing, it’s the law to stop! Let's keep our streets safe for our students. 👀 Stay Alert: Kids can be unpredictable. Always keep an eye out, especially during pick-up and drop-off times. 🚶🏼Colorado crosswalk laws require drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Together, we can ensure a safe journey for all our students. Let’s make this school year the safest one yet!

Kindergarten through fifth-grade students start testing on Monday, August 19. Testing times are listed on the card you received on back-to-school night, which shows your child’s teacher. When you bring your student for testing, it is also a great time to bring school supplies.

If it is necessary for you to change locations because of a change of address, job change, or a new childcare provider, please complete a new School Bus Authorization Form at least five school days in advance. Same-day changes are hard to implement. We will no longer accept temporary transportation requests or route changes. In the event of an emergency, please get in touch with the Transportation Department by email or phone call. If you have a student who will only be riding the bus for activity trips, you must fill out the Sport/Activity Transportation Form, which is available in the student handbooks. Once you submit the bus request form, you will receive an email with your bus stop location and times. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact the transportation department at transportation@rangelyk12.org. Thank you, and we look forward to a wonderful, safe school year.
