When Cesar S. left the corporate world, he was looking for a change. Three years later, he’s still with us at 27J as a Bus Driver/Trainer and says he completely fell in love with his job.

For Cesar, the best part is the kids. He might start his morning route with sleepy elementary students, then turn up the music and get them laughing before they walk into school. In the afternoon, he gets a front row seat to whatever kind of day they had and tries to help them find their way back to a good mood. “It’s more gratifying,” Cesar says about making the move from the corporate world.

Cesar has one question for anyone who has been thinking about becoming a bus driver: “What’s taking you so long?” 💛 If you are looking for meaningful work that fits into your life and gives you the chance to make a difference every day, your next chapter may start behind the wheel.

What are you most excited about for the new school year?

That was the question we posed to some third graders at Northeast Elementary School and some sixth graders at Quist Middle School on their first day. From a new class pet to outdoor ed, these students have a lot to look forward to!

School Security Upgrades Tested

Caught on camera...a person conducting surveillance outside Quist Middle School. The woman, dressed in black, also tried to gain entry to the building. Despite this attempt, she was unable to breach the highly secure perimeter.

Similar sightings were reported at Northeast Elementary School, Overland Trail and Prairie View middle schools and Innovations & Options. However, each time the woman was stopped, thanks in part to this summer's intrusion system upgrades. No need to worry! Further investigation revealed the "suspect" is actually a district employee performing a field test of the upgraded system.

District officials confirm improvements made over the summer include new alarm panels and field devices like door sensors, motion detectors, sirens and keypads, all paid for by the voter-supported 2021 Bond.

Only the best for the new educators joining our district this year!

95 new hires were greeted by a cheering crowd as they strolled down the red carpet when they arrived for New Educator Orientation at Riverdale Ridge High School.

This year's group is the smallest we've had in more than a decade! That's important to note because it means fewer teachers left the district this past year. In fact, our teacher turnover rate is the lowest among the five metro area districts in Adams County!

School Perimeters Secured

District officials responded to reports that crews completely sealed the perimeter of West Ridge Elementary. Similar reports from Pennock, Second Creek, Thimmig and Turnberry elementary schools revealed this line of defense was being used throughout the district.

Upon investigation, officials discovered workers applying a block sealer to the exterior masonry of these schools. The operation appeared intentional and was carried out to help prevent moisture from infiltrating the building.

Officials confirmed the secured perimeter was authorized as part of the district's summer improvement projects, funded through the voter-supported 2021 Bond.
