Dear Parents:
As you may be aware, we are currently short bus drivers. We are currently using substitute drivers to cover routes. We are very fortunate that our custodians are licensed bus drivers and they are able to substitute when needed. Please be aware that substitute bus drivers may run late as they are unfamiliar with some of the bus routes. We will do our best to keep the same subs on the same routes. This will enable more efficient routes and familiarity with our kids.
If your child’s bus is running late, we will make every effort to contact you.
There is a state wide shortage of bus drivers. If you are interested in becoming a bus driver or substitute bus driver, please contact Bob Harris or Scott Akom at 231-885-1200 for more information.
We appreciate your understanding.
