OTHER KEY INFORMATION

The winter months often bring weather changes which impact student transportation. Listed below is information related to inclement weather.

 

Many elementary students (Fairview, Hillcrest, Lannoye and Sunnyside) are picked up and dropped off by a bus that runs a middle school/high school route first. In this case, the second route bus may be running a bit behind schedule on days when the weather is bad.

 

Whenever roads require slow bus travel, please be aware that your children will be arriving home later than the usual time. It may be as much as a half-hour or more later. We ask that you be patient in dealing with this situation.

 

EARLY CHILDHOOD AND 4K (4 Year-Old Kindergarten)

1. When the district is canceled for the day, the early childhood and 4K programs are canceled.

2. The morning session of early childhood and 4K are canceled when there is a late start.

3. The afternoon session of early childhood and 4K are canceled when there is an early dismissal.

 

Should you have a need to contact the Transportation Department concerning a late bus they can be reached at 920-822-6040.
