Transportation Update
Thank you to the many parents who continue to have your children ride the bus with us. We appreciate the trust you have in us and our drivers and we are honored to bring your children to and from school every day. The additional bus ridership is making the start of school run more smoothly and is easing car traffic for our schools.
With so many new routes this year, it will take a few weeks for us to make all of the necessary adjustments to gain our peak efficiency. As we make these adjustments, your patience and support is greatly appreciated.
