Affected families have been contacted via phone or email and through the My Ride K-12 app. The morning routes are currently up-to-date, and the afternoon routes will be updated in the app tomorrow morning.

Let's have a fantastic school year! ππ


Today was a big day for our littlest learners. Their very first day of kindergarten! π¦ π It was an emotional morning filled with bright smiles, heartfelt hugs, and a whole lot of excitement.
To make the day even more special, our kindergartners had a surprise visit from none other than our school mascot, Echo the Eagle! π¦ π Echo welcomed them with high fives, hugs, and lots of school spirit.
We are so proud of our brave and kind Holloman Eagles as they take flight on this brand new journey. π«β¨ Hereβs to a year full of learning, laughter, and soaring high!
