Summer Office Hours

Starting Monday, June 7, the office will be open from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday.

Summer Learning Bus Information

Bus information is now available for students attending summer learning at Highlands Grove Elementary.  Transportation will be provided from our school to Highlands Grove.  There will not be neighborhood bus service.

The bus is expected to be at POBE by 7:29 AM.  We suggest arriving about 10 minutes prior to that time for the first few days to avoid missing the bus.  The bus is expected to return to POBE with our students at 1:11 PM.  Students should be picked up by a parent/guardian by 1:20 PM.

Parents/Guardians are requested to park in the front parking lot and walk their student to the bus loading zone in front of the school.  Please do not enter or park in the front driveway as this will block the school bus.

Call the school at (863) 499-2950 if you have any questions.  We look forward to seeing our students for their first day of summer learning on Wednesday, June 9!
