Dear Bus Parents,
At times, due to inclement weather and poor road conditions, it will be necessary for us to run a “snow route” with some of our buses. If conditions call for this action, it will be announced by our school communications that we will be having school with snow routes only. Students on snow route buses will be picked up from and dropped off at the designated stops. Parents will need to have their students at the stop in the morning and have someone there to pick up the students at the designated times in the afternoon.
Students will not be allowed off of the bus unless a parent or other designee is there to pick them up. A note for each school year will need to be signed by the parent and building administrator and will be required if other arrangements are made. If a parent or other designee is not at the drop off point and the driver has not been made aware of other arrangements, the student will be returned to school for parent pick up.
The following buses will be using snow routes. You can view the letter for each route below:
Snow route times and pickup/drop off locations for these bus routes will be established by the drivers. Parents will be notified by a letter from the driver. If your student/s do not ride on one of these buses, your bus will run its route as normal. Should you have any questions please contact me.
