Due to bus driver shortage this fall, we have had to adjust our bus routes to cover a wider area of pick-ups and drop-offs, making some pick-up times quite early.  This has been hard on families.  However, we are happy to announce that starting Monday morning, October 26, our Turtle and Butterfly bus riders will start getting picked up 20 minutes later in the morning. This will set everyone who rides the Turtle and the Butterfly bus east of the Townline road ahead 20 minutes.  Instead of a 6:20 am pickup for example, this would mean 6:40 am.   This gives everyone extra time at home while ensuring that all our students make it to school at a decent time. 

Thank you for your continued patience as we navigate these obstacles.  In the coming weeks, we expect our Transportation Department to be fully staffed and able to resume our normal schedule.
