Dear YWA Families, All buses have arrived. We are working with transportation to make sure students arrive on time tomorrow. Bus drivers are acclimating to their new schedules. It will get better! The last bus arrived at 8:50am, all students were fed breakfast if they wanted to eat and are now in their classrooms. We adjusted our daily schedule, switching advisory to the first period, then students transitioned to 5th period so they do not miss instruction. I will keep you posted on any further updates.Thank you for your patience. Dr. Ontiveros

Dear YWA Families, Thank you for a wonderful first day of school! We’re so excited to have our Warriors back on campus and ready to start the year strong. A note for our bus riders: EPISD Transportation is working diligently to ensure all students arrive to and from school safely. Please know that during the first few weeks of school, buses may run late as routes are adjusted to account for construction and traffic—two factors beyond our control. We kindly ask for your patience during this time. If your student’s bus is running late, please feel free to text me through the EPISD app or email me at ccontive@episd.org so I can help communicate with other families. Thank you, as always, for your continued support and understanding during this first week of school! Warmly, Dr. Ontiveros Principal
