23-24 Bus Snow Routes
Our First Student Bus Services partners have provided us with the 2023-2024 snow route schedule. You will find the snow routes by clicking the button directly above this message. Additionally, they are listed on the District and school websites at the top of each page as well as on the First Student Bus Services page on the District website located HERE. If you have questions about pick-up or drop-off locations, please contact First Student at 971-290-4020.
It is important to note that snow routes will be communicated on the days they are needed via regular District communications channels- email, app notifications, and phone calls. Snow route utilization is evaluated daily by the Superintendent and First Student.
We hope that providing you with snow route information will make inclement weather days easier to navigate. We will do our best to communicate inclement weather days/delays in a timely manner.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion-November Observances!
Observances, whether they be monthly, weekly, or daily, remind us of the opportunities we have to make sure that we are integrating culturally relevant, diverse, historic, and health-based knowledge and skills into our teaching and home life.
We hope you take advantage of infusing your classrooms and homes with these observances as they provide a great way for our children/students, school staff, and community to learn, be celebrated, and feel cared for.
