Dear Parents/Guardians:
The Covid-19 pandemic presents new challenges maintaining a safe environment for students in all locations including school buses. To protect and support our families during this time, we ask that families not change bus route plans unless it is immediately necessary for children's supervision. This will help us with reduce the number of children coming into close contact with one another, thereby lowering the risk for potential quarantine.
