🐎 A Quick Bus Safety Reminder for Our Mustangs! 🚌
We know our Mustangs love bringing projects, classroom materials, equipment, donations, and other special items home! ❤️ Before sending something with your student, please take a moment to consider its size.
Because our school buses have limited space, large items that cannot be safely stored in a student’s backpack or otherwise secured cannot ride the bus during regular routes.
Please make sure items:
• Fit safely inside a backpack whenever possible
• Do not block the aisle or emergency exits
• Do not interfere with the driver’s view
• Do not take up seating needed by other students
If it’s too big to safely carry or store on the bus, please make another plan for getting it home.
Thank you for helping us keep our bus rides safe, comfortable, and running smoothly for every Mustang! 🐎💙

🐎 Mustangs, Let’s Keep the Herd Moving! 🐎
A quick reminder for afternoon parent pick-up: please leave the “intersection” near the bus loop gate unobstructed while waiting in line.
As we continue working to reduce our overall parent pick-up time, keeping this area clear is especially important. 🚗➡️🚌 Cars stopped in this area can block our buses from leaving campus and slow down dismissal for everyone.
Thank you for helping us keep the line moving, get all of our students home quickly, and—most importantly—safely! We appreciate our Mustang families working together to make dismissal run smoothly. 💙

🐎🚗 Thank You, Mustangs, for a Great First Pickup! 🚗🐎
Thank you to all of our parents and caretakers for a great first day of dismissal! We know our car line was longer than usual, and we truly appreciate everyone’s patience as we wrapped up Day 1 of the 2026–2027 school year.
Our number one goal is to get every student home safely, and that means it will take a little extra time to load and dismiss our students—especially during these first few weeks as everyone learns the routines.
📢 A few important reminders:
🚌 At CTE, we have bus riders and parent pickup. If you’d like to avoid the longer car line, consider having your student ride the bus.
🚗 If you choose parent pickup, please stay in the car line and keep your parent pickup tag clearly displayed so our staff and Safety Patrols can easily see it.
😎 And remember, Mustangs… NO CUTS! As kids used to say back in the day, we’re all waiting our turn! 😉🐴
📞 If you have a last-minute emergency that affects your pickup plans, please call the front office. We will work with you to determine the best available option.
Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we get our dismissal routines running smoothly. We appreciate you helping us keep the herd safe!
Great first day, Mustangs! Let’s keep running strong! 💙🐎
