Please NOTE: An additional route in the Acequia area - bus 154 has been added to the list.
Parents: Because of the road conditions, weather and continued melting snow, we will implement alternate bus routes for FEBRUARY 7-8, 2024. Some bus routes will be affected (see image for affected routes). Please turn on your emergency flashers so bus drivers know when to stop. We will start picking up students at 6:20 AM the furthest out and moving towards town. In the afternoon, please return to the intersection to pick up your students (both elementary and then again for secondary). This will affect the following buses. We realize this is an inconvenience for parents, but this is a precaution being taken for roads affected by the rain, melting snow, and severely muddy roads. If you have questions, please call 208-436-4727.
