Here Comes the Bus
Want to know if your child's bus is on schedule or where the bus is? Here Comes the Bus® is an easy-to-use website and app that enables parents to see the location of their child’s school bus — almost in real time — on a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer.
Parents can track multiple buses if their children don’t all ride the same bus; know exactly when children arrive at school or the bus stop; and receive customized text and/or email notifications about bus locations, schedule changes, or delays.
To get started, download the app from the Apple iOS or Android app store. Check out the Here Comes the Bus and Frequently Asked Questions webpages for more information. Already using the Here Comes the Bus app? Send your feedback to HCTB@fcps.edu
100th Day of School!
 The 100th day of school will take place Thursday February 8th. Our countdown provides an incredible opportunity for many cross-curricular activities such as counting forward and counting down, ways to make 100 and using operations in base 10, creating list of 100 things, and sharing 100 reasons why we love being Hornets.
Students are encouraged to think of ways they can represent 100 - that could be in how you dress, bringing in a collection of 100 items, or being able to share or add to a 100 list.
We can’t wait to celebrate the 100th day of school with our Hornets!
