Quapaw Public Schools sent out the annual Impact Aid Parent Survey Forms last week. We would appreciate parents filling the forms out and having their child return the form to school ASAP. Thank you for your assistance in helping the Quapaw Public Schools.
Dear Parents,
As many of you know it has been extremely difficult to find and hire bus drivers to drive the route buses for Quapaw Schools, as have other districts in the area also been dealing with this same hardship. Our district is fortunate to be able to purchase 3 new buses to transport our students to and from school each day. We have determined that we can provide the same safe transport of students running one less route with minor changes to current pickup and drop-off schedules. Some of the route numbers will also change but the same service will be provided.
Bus Route 1 (Warren) – No changes
Bus Route 2 (Allen) – Is the former bus route 3, it will also pick up students north of 60 Road that were previously picked up by bus 4. The pickup time for former bus 4 students will be approximately 20 minutes earlier, former bus 3 student pickup times will remain the same.
Bus Route 3 (Coach Manning-Blazer) – Is the former bus route 5, it will also pick up those former bus 4 students that are on Whitebird Street. Former bus 5 students will be picked up approximately 10 minutes earlier.
Bus Route 4 (Sabrina) – Is the former bus route 6. Pick up times for former bus 6 students will remain the same.
Bus Route 5 (Mr. Thomasson) – Is the former bus route 7. Pick up and drop-off times will remain the same.
A letter will be sent home Thursday, November 14, 2019 with each child that has changes to their bus route including approximate pickup and drop-off times.
As we make this change, please be patient as we determine if times need to be adjusted. We thank you for your understanding. We hope to implement these changes beginning on Monday, November 18, 2019.
Sincerely,
James Dawson, Asst. Superintendent
Quapaw Public Schools
