Greetings,
I would like to provide an update regarding recent delays on some of our bus routes. At the beginning of each school year, transportation times can be longer than usual as drivers become familiar with their routes and students are added to or moved between routes.
These challenges are compounded by a current shortage of bus drivers, an issue currently affecting many school districts. At times, the shortage requires us to temporarily combine routes, which can increase the amount of time students spend on the bus.
Please be assured that addressing these delays is a top priority. We are actively working to improve our routes and reduce transportation times as quickly as possible.
If you are interested in becoming a bus driver and joining our outstanding transportation team, please contact our Director of Transportation, Kimberly Karaszewski, at kkaraszewski@rb157.org for more information.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve these issues.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tom Lind
Superintendent of Schools

The wait is finally over! Our recycled bench has arrived!
Over a year ago, our SGE community collected plastic bags as part of a recycling event, and those bags have now been transformed into this awesome bench!
A great reminder that small efforts can make a BIG difference. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!
