Some people step into a role. Others step into a challenge.

When Trisha Dunks joined our team, she walked into a location facing more than its fair share of challenges. There was no easy path forward. The hill was steep, the obstacles were many, and there were plenty of moments when it would have been easier to simply manage the chaos rather than change it.

But Trisha kept climbing.

Through patience, persistence, hard work, and a genuine commitment to the people around them, Trisha and Travis helped transform this location into something we are incredibly proud of today.

What may be most impressive isn't simply what was accomplished—it's the environment that was created along the way. A workplace where people support one another, take pride in what they do, laugh together, solve problems together, and genuinely care about the students and families they serve.

As Trisha prepares to leave 4.0 School Services, we want to say thank you. Thank you for taking on the hard days. Thank you for sticking with it when the climb was difficult. Thank you for believing that things could be better and then doing the work to make them better.

You leave behind a location that is stronger, healthier, and better because you were here.

Some people make a difference because of the position they hold. Others make a difference because of who they are.

Travis Lewellin has been one of those people.

Serving as both Assistant Manager and Lead Mechanic meant wearing two very different hats—and often carrying the responsibilities of both at the same time. It wasn't always an easy balance, especially during some of the most challenging times at this location.

But through it all, Travis was a steady presence.

His loyalty, work ethic, and determination to make things better helped keep this location moving forward. Whether he was solving a problem in the shop, supporting a driver, helping make a difficult decision, or simply stepping in wherever he was needed, he could be counted on.

And that commitment didn't stop at the doors of the bus garage.

Travis's drive to make a difference extends into the community he calls home. He cares about the people around him, and that has always shown in the way he approaches his work and the relationships he has built along the way.

As Travis prepares to leave 4.0 School Services, we want to recognize not only what he accomplished, but what he brought to this team—balance, loyalty, dependability, and heart.

Good morning dragon families! Just a little heads up that bus #14 could be running a few minutes behind due to a down tree on his route. And we thought Monday was yesterday 🫣.

We got them to school!
Thank you to our awesome parents and families for your patience, flexibility, and sense of humor as we work through a few first day bumps. Transportation is a big puzzle, and we appreciate everyone working with us as we continue using ParentVue for bus information and updates. We do not put drop off times in as there are too many variables to provide an accurate drop off time.
One thing we are proud of is our commitment to accommodating families whenever possible with unique schedules, childcare arrangements etc. While not every district is able to offer that flexibility, we do our best to make it work. We appreciate your willingness to work with us when adjustments are needed and your understanding as route details continue changing right up until the start of school.
As always, give us a call with any questions. Transportation isn’t a perfect science, but every year we learn, improve and get a little better.
Thank you for helping us! We have some of the best parents around!

🚌 Info
We’re getting close! We have most of our transportation info entered into ParentVue, but there are still a few buses left to update in the system. Please be patient as we work through the final details. Our team has been putting in some extra hours as we had many unexpected last minute changes come to us at open house. We’re feeling really good about having everything finished up by the end of Monday Aug 31st. Please take a final look at your times and bus number in ParentVue Monday evening! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
