Hello, Bus 19 is currently waiting for a train to pass on Wilson and Chisholm Streets. All students are safe and being supervised.
Good morning Bus 19 is gonna have a Sub driver this morning. Miss Monjar will be driving however I will not be starting the route until probably around 6:45 so students be picked up 20 minutes later than normal students will not be marked tardy and will still be given breakfast when they get to school.
Good evening! Don’t forget to sign your student’s green sheet for the PTO chocolate bar sale! The sale starts tomorrow! Our students were super excited for the sale on Friday afternoon at our first assembly!
Starting on Tuesday, we will have our annual PTO chocolate bar fundraiser! This year's highest seller can either win Principal Cosimo's Pal for the Day or 1 Year Zoo Membership to the Broadway Zoological Park. Students can either sell chocolate boxes or donate money to be eligible! Funds will help repave the Deep River walking track! Ask your student for their green forms they are getting today!
Good afternoon! Please do not forget that we will not have school on Monday, September 07 in honor of Labor Day! We hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend!
We are happy to announce that in the 2025-2026 school year, Deep River exceeded our expected growth in the North Carolina school performance grades! Great job to our students, staff and families for your hard work and dedication this past school year! We are excited for this school year and all that we will do at Deep River!
Congratulations to Ms. Jackie Petty on her retirement from Lee County Schools today! Ms. Petty has been at Deep River for 12 years! She started off in the cafeteria and then transitioned to our custodian team! We appreciate your hard work and you will be missed!
Thank you to Deputy Haymore and K9 Dempsey for coming to talk to our kindergarten students on Friday! Plus many of our students got some great time with Dempsey before they got on their buses to go home too! We appreciate your time and support! 💚💙🐶
We are excited for Ms. Mellisa Cotton to join our EC team this year! Ms. Cotton is a great new addition and we appreciate having her!

🚌 Bus Transportation Reminder: Pick-Up Times, Transportation Changes & Community Stops
Deep River families, we want to share a few important transportation reminders to help keep our students safe and our buses running efficiently.
⏰ BUS PICK-UP TIMES
Please have students at their assigned bus stop and ready for the bus within 10 minutes of the scheduled pick-up time listed in Parent Portal. Bus arrival times may vary slightly from day to day due to traffic, student attendance, and other factors along the route.
Being at the stop and ready helps prevent delays and keeps our routes moving safely and on schedule.
📝 TRANSPORTATION CHANGES
All transportation changes must be handwritten and sent to school with your student.
For the safety of our students, we cannot accept transportation changes over the phone or through Parent Portal. Sending a written note helps us ensure that transportation changes are clearly communicated and that students are sent home using the correct method of transportation.
📍 COMMUNITY BUS STOPS
Some students are assigned to community bus stops designated by the Bus Garage/Transportation Department. These stops provide safe, consistent, and efficient locations for students to board and exit the school bus.
Rather than having a bus make multiple house-to-house stops within the same area, students may be assigned to a centralized community stop.
Community stops help:
• Reduce the number of times a bus must stop along a roadway
• Create consistent and predictable locations for students and families
• Support safer traffic flow around school buses
• Help buses maintain their routes and schedules
• Promote safe and efficient transportation for all students
We understand that community stops may require some families to walk a short distance to meet the bus. As part of our transportation guidelines, students may be asked to walk up to one-half mile to their assigned bus stop, and bus stops are generally placed at least 0.2 miles apart to support safe and efficient bus routes. We appreciate your understanding, flexibility, and partnership as we work with our Transportation Department to keep student safety at the center of our transportation procedures.
Thank you for helping us keep our Gators safe! 🐊💙💚
