We strive to do our best to prepare for both known and unknown obstacles, and are proactively asking for your patience and understanding as we work through challenges that we may and may not be aware of. Our calculations are just that, and it may become necessary to alter bus times in order to get students to school on time.
We will work to keep families updated. We appreciate your support and flexibility during this process. If you have questions, please reach out to us via phone or email.
Thank you,
