Also, our bus stop locations have changed for all of our school buildings for the 23-24 school year. Students will be walking to the closest bus stop listed on the routes. Students will also need to have the same bus stop location for the school week. If your student gets on the bus at home and off at a different location in the afternoon, this is the schedule they will need to keep, one pickup and one drop-off location.
