To the Parents of students who Ride the Upriver bus:
The Afternoon route for the UpRiver bus will be canceled for today, August 7, 2023.
We have three drivers out today with no substitutes available. So we apologize for the late notice.
We are asking for those parents who are able to pick their children up from school this afternoon to do so or to make arrangements for that to happen.
If you are unable to pick your child(ren) up or make arrangements please call your child’s school. We will be asking for permission to bring home those students in one of our micro buses or what are referred to as an activity bus.
Again, we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
