Dear Parents and Staff,

It has been exciting to welcome our students back to full-time, in-person learning. I wanted to write a short note to acknowledge the transportation issues some of our schools and families experienced this first week. 

Some of our drop-off times have been later than usual, and we appreciate your understanding as we fine-tune our schedules. Our principals and secretaries have been doing their best to inform families when certain buses would be late, along with an estimated drop-off time.  

I apologize for any inconvenience that late drop-offs caused for families and staff. We are working closely with First Student to solve some specific pick-up/drop-off issues. The timing of our buses is improving each day, and we will continue to work diligently to ensure students' safe and timely delivery to and from school.  

Sincerely,

Patrick
