To help with our bussing service at student arrival and dismissal, it might help expedite your commute by utilizing East Monroe Street to access Abend rather than East Garfield. This may help alleviate traffic congestion and unwanted wait time for buses to depart. We appreciate your patience to help keep our students safe.
