BUS ROUTE INFO (Mrs. Becky's Route - PC Road): Starting this afternoon, Mrs. Becky's route will be divided and the route will have two drivers for the next few weeks. Mrs. Becky will go down Cambell Rd., take Hinson, and then come up the backside / end of Parkers Chapel Rd. She will begin picking up students at 2065 PC Road and continue loading / unloading until she gets to Union 211. That will be the end of her route. Students from the school to Cody Road / Emma Drive will be riding with Mr. Tracy Swilley for the next few weeks. Parents please be patient and help adjust the time your child "looks" for the bus to load and pay attention to the time they are dropped off. This will change for most of the students. Mr. Tracy will most likely be running about 10 minutes later in the mornings than Mrs. Becky did since it will be a shorter route. We will notify you when we go back to one driver / regular route.
Please see the attached letter from the nurse regarding annual screenings.
