The flyer includes several ways to access transportation information:
• MyRide K-12 mobile app

🌊🤖🦅 East Bay Students Competing at the International SeaPerch Competition! 🦅🤖🌊
Please join us in congratulating Emmett B. and Reid H. from Mrs. Rushing’s STEAM class, who are currently representing East Bay K-8 at the 2026 International SeaPerch Competition at the University of Maryland! 🎉
SeaPerch challenges students to design, build, and operate their own underwater Remote-Operated Vehicle (ROV) while applying engineering, teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. This year’s mission focused on Storm Response, requiring students to complete a series of underwater tasks and navigate a timed obstacle course.
East Bay had three teams compete at the regional competition hosted by the University of West Florida, with Emmett and Reid’s team earning the opportunity to advance to the international level. 🌎
We are incredibly proud of their hard work, dedication, and innovation. Whether in the classroom, the workshop, or the pool, these students have demonstrated what it means to be an East Bay Eagle.
💙🦅 Good luck to Emmett and Reid as they compete against teams from around the world this weekend! We are cheering you on from East Bay!
