Western Alamance Middle School

Bus 34 is having mechanical issues this morning. Bus 40 will pick up its route about 30 minutes behind schedule.

We have several late buses this afternoon that include: 37, 68, 49, 57, 150, 157, & 61.

Due to the bus driver shortage, we will have several bus routes running late. These students will be excused if they are tardy.

The following buses are running behind schedule: 8, 34, 37, 47, 150, 50, 49, 57, & 157.

Buses 150, 94, 47, & 8 are running late today. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The following buses are running late: 9, 40, 46, 47, 49, 68, 150, & 177.

Bus 57 and Bus 37 are running behind today. Thanks for your patience.

This is will serve as the Western Zone Bus Route schedule for the school year. As a reminder, September 11 is a 3 hr delay schedule so please adjust to the times as necessary. Any additions, changes or updates will be done on this document. We ask parents to have their child at the bus stop 15 minutes before the time listed. Students should be out at the street waiting on the bus. Not in the house, on the porch, etc. If a bus fails to pickup a student by 8:30am on regular student days, the student should remain at their bus stop and use a cell phone to contact the school or transportation office. Students and parents need to know that the bus listed may not be the bus that is picking up their child. It is imperative for students to know what their bus number route is. The bus number route is the number beside their bus stop. If parents or students have transportation questions, they need to contact Western Zonal Bus Coordinator Ms. Ashley Hopkins at Ashley_Pruitt@abss.k12.nc.us or 336-538-6020 ext 40010 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_5l-d5n5bFFdSOS8NsBVyrHVACBMuBQ3Mg_owJTrcK0/edit#gid=0

An application must be completed to receive free or reduced school meals for the new school year. 🥪 If your school is already eligible for free meals or you bring lunch from home, the application is still worthwhile as it provides waivers for testing and college applications! 🖥️ lunchapplication.com
