Bus 144 students who live on N. Church St. are on bus 36. Bus 5 students are on bus 271. Bus 144 students who live near Walmart are on bus 55. All students will be later arriving home today.

Students who ride bus 144 and live on Church St rode bus 5 today. Due to this bus 5 maybe running a little late. Students who ride bus 144 and live near Walmart rode bus 55. This may cause bus 55 to be running late this afternoon.

Students who normally ride bus 5 will be riding bus 271 (13) today. At this time the students are still waiting in the gym for the bus to return to take them home. Also students who normally ride bus 144 and live on N. Church St are on bus 36. Students who ride bus 144B (144 and 12) are on bus 55. Please expect delays for all bus routes.

Students who ride bus 5 are on bus 55 today. This will be the case any afternoon we do not have a driver for bus 5. In this case, students will be later than normal getting home.

Parents of bus riders, Please be aware that all buses will be running their morning routes later than normal from this point on. This means your child's bus will arrive at the bus stop later than they normally do. Please be patient as this process is put in place. Communicate with your child's bus driver as you can to determine an estimated time for their new arrival time. This is being put in place to assist with the middle and high school routes.
