the day will be three hours earlier than
normal. Families should have already
been contacted by the transportation
department to confirm regular pickup
and drop off times. Bus route information is also available on the School
District website. Parents can also contact their local transportation office if
they have further questions.

2014 schools will operate on a regular
schedule.
