Thank you for your patience and support over the last two weeks.
Our Director of Transportation experienced very difficult personal circumstances this summer that delayed bus route setup. She will be back on duty tomorrow, Tuesday, September 2, 2025.

We’re deeply grateful for our staff and community who stepped up to keep students safe and supported. Moving forward, we are working to prevent disruptions like this in the future. Thank you for your continued understanding, kindness, and teamwork.
