Buses may run behind the first week of school. We have many new drivers and riders, so delays should be expected in the afternoons. All students will be dropped off safely, but it may be a later time than anticipated. Bus drop off times will continue to improve as we move past the first week. Thank you for your patience as we work to transport over 4,500 students to school and home each day. We hope your Hornets had a great first day of school!
