School News
The RoboHawks team is an after-school program focused on robotics, teamwork, and STEM. Students will design, build, and program a LEGO robot; develop a research project based on a real-world problem; and participate in practice and qualifying competitions. The season runs September–December, possibly into January if the team advances in the competition. Meetings are Tuesdays,
2:45–5:00 PM. Robotics is a time-intensive team commitment, especially before competitions, and homework will be assigned.
Please note: The maximum number of students that can be on the team is 10. We have three returning team members which means only seven more spots are available.
PM1 Testing is here for Grades 3-5

How to Access Bus Information
Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, all student pick-up and drop-off times and locations will be provided exclusively through BusPlanner and will no longer be available on Home Access Center (HAC). Parents can access BusPlanner through its web portal at https://sjcsd.mybusplanner.com or by downloading the companion mobile app, Chipmunk, available for Android and Apple devices.
Bus Planner & Chipmunk will enhance communication and keep you informed by:
- Easy direct access to your student’s bus information
- Improved alerts for late buses – more accurate & timely notifications
- Easier requests – communicate directly with Transportation anytime
- Advanced notice for any route time or bus stop changes
- Confirmation receipts for all communication with Transportation
To get started, families should create an account on the BusPlanner website or on the Chipmunk app using the same email address associated with their Home Access Center (HAC) account. SJCSD encourages all families with bus riders to register early and stay informed ahead of the upcoming school year.
