Buses 134 & 5 Combined Today

/in /by

We just received notice from the bus company that buses 134 and 5 needed to combine today due to a driver shortage.  If this impacts your family, you should have received an email directly from the school shortly after 1pm.

If you missed that email, please note this is the same combination as the Wednesday bus schedule, so expect your child home about that same time if they are taking the bus home today.
