School Delays & Closures

Weather, floods or unexpected emergencies may require school closure and/or changes in transportation schedules. During these emergency situations, be prepared for possible delays involving school bus pick-up/drop-off times and locations.

Younger Students: Parents and family members are encouraged to wait with and meet their students at the Adverse Weather Routes stop. Younger students may not be allowed to get off the bus if they are unsure of how to get to their house or do not have an older sibling or neighbor to walk with. In these situations, students will be returned to school to wait for a family member to pick them up.

All Students: Timing at Adverse Weather Routes stops could be several minutes earlier or later than normal stop times. Plan and dress accordingly for changing weather conditions.

Students with Special Transportation Needs: Families will be given information about changes to their stop time or location for adverse weather when changes are necessary.
