🚌 IMPORTANT BUS ROUTE REMINDERS
As we get ready for the new school year, we want to share a few important transportation reminders with our families:
Please check BusRight for your student’s bus stop location and pickup time. Bus routes have changed this year, so please double-check your student’s information before the first day of school.
BusRight Information:
Parents of students using bus transportation should have received an email from the Transportation Department through BusRight, our bus transportation app. This email includes information to help you access your student’s transportation details.
If your child uses bus transportation and you have not received an email from BusRight, please contact the Transportation Department at caldwellb@msd321.com for assistance.
Be at the Stop 5 Minutes Early:
Students should be at their bus stop at least 5 minutes before their scheduled pickup time. This helps our buses stay on schedule and ensures students are ready when the bus arrives.
Riding a Different Bus or Using a Different Stop:
If your student will be riding a different bus home with a friend or getting off at a stop other than their assigned bus stop, they will need a signed permission note from a parent or guardian.
More Transportation Information:
Please visit the Transportation page on our district website for department contacts, BusRight app information, and additional transportation resources. Link: https://www.msd321.com/o/msd321/page/transportation
Thank you for helping us make transportation safe and smooth as we begin the new school year!
As we get ready for the new school year, we want to remind all new and returning families to download the MSD321 app and sign in to your Rooms account.
Rooms is our communication platform that teachers will use to stay connected with you and your student throughout the school year.
Rooms invitations have been sent out. To log in, use the phone number associated with your PowerSchool account. A confirmation code will be sent to that number for you to enter and complete the sign-in process.
If you choose to log in using the email address associated with your PowerSchool account, you will be prompted to create a password. If you did not receive a Rooms invitation or are having trouble signing in, please email chavezm@msd321.com for assistance.
Please also take a moment to make sure the email address and phone number associated with your PowerSchool account are current and correct. If you have a new email address or phone number, please update your information as soon as possible.
Important: Please do not list a work phone number as your day or primary contact number. Rooms may not be able to send messages and notifications to work phone numbers. Please use a personal mobile number whenever possible.
Thank you for helping us make sure you stay connected and receive important communication from your student’s school and teachers.
We’re excited for a great school year!

Hello Rexburg Community! Voting is next week, and we want to remind our community what the levy on the ballot is for.
The levy would be used to bridge the gap between what state funding provides and the realities of today’s costs of operating and maintaining our schools. From transportation and safety to curriculum, technology, and staffing, these are the day-to-day expenses that keep our schools running.
All district finances are transparent and publicly available. We understand school funding can often be generalized or misunderstood, which is why we encourage our community to stay informed, ask questions, and have conversations with local district leadership about how funding impacts our schools each day.
If you would like to talk through district finances or ask questions directly, our Finance Manager, Blake Snedaker, is available at our temporary district office trailers located on the west side of the Bobcat Fieldhouse. We would be happy to help answer questions and provide information so our community can make informed decisions. #wearemadison
“The estimated average annual cost to the taxpayer on the proposed levy is a tax of $52.97 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value, per year, based on current conditions. The proposed levy replaces an existing levy that expires on June 30, 2026, that currently costs $52.97 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. Therefore, if the proposed levy is approved, the tax per $100,000 of taxable assessed value is not expected to change. The levy will be assessed for two years.”
Today we’re celebrating the incredible leaders who keep our schools running strong every single day. From early mornings to late nights, our principals show up with dedication, heart, and a true commitment to students, staff, and families.
Thank you for leading with integrity, supporting your teams, and creating positive learning environments where everyone can succeed. Your impact is felt in every hallway, classroom, and conversation.
We appreciate you today and every day! 🍎

Time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the break—we hope it’s a great one!
Classes will resume on Monday the 20th. We’ll see you back soon! #wearemadison
