Due to today’s weather conditions, our Transportation Department is closely monitoring the situation to ensure student safety. Please expect possible delays in pick-up and drop-off times this afternoon, as our drivers take extra precautions while operating in the rain.
We kindly ask that a parent or guardian be present to meet your student at their bus stop, especially for our younger riders. Weather conditions can impact visibility, and your presence helps ensure a safe and smooth drop-off for every child.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to transport all students safely. Updates will be shared if conditions change or if any routes experience significant delays.
