Parents and Families
Tuesday, January 26th, is the starting date of a new quarter and we have many students returning to in-person learning. This has required some adjustments to our bus routes. In the next few days drivers will be contacting those families that have new pick-up times or have been reassigned to a different bus.
Reminder:
*Masks are required to be worn at all times to ride the bus.
*Students must sit in their assigned seats.
Thank you
