We would like to thank our staff members, students, and families for their cooperation today. We appreciate how everyone worked together to make the best of a challenging situation! All students were picked up or dropped off by 4:55 p.m. Also, we would like to thank countless people who showed thoughtfulness and positivity today as well! Our district appreciates you!
A few key points:
1. As has been the practice for many years, it is expected that families have a plan for early dismissals. It is not a practice that we like to utilize, but today we did need to utilize a modified early dismissal. Dismissing on a normal early dismissal schedule today would have been hazardous. Many roads that would not have been safe this morning or in the early afternoon were plowed and treated by dismissal time. Our parents and guardians were AWESOME today, but we thought it might be helpful to at least let others without children in our district know that having a plan for an early dismissal is an expectation that the district has. If a parent can’t pick up their child, our staff members ALWAYS find ways to assist.
2. We are aware that comments have been made on social media about buses wrecking. No buses “wrecked” today. Two buses became stuck in untreated areas, and no one was injured in those situations.
3. No one can predict the weather with complete accuracy all the time. Today and Tuesday of this week are two perfect examples of that. But if there are questions about procedures, we are always happy to answer them. As a district, we will not engage in addressing negative comments on social media as it is unproductive.
Again, thank you to everyone who helped out today! GO TIGERS!!
Good afternoon. Our buses will not be running routes on the following roads:
Wisecup, Edgington, Turkey Ridge, Waugh, Mt. Olive, Pricers Ridge, Benner Hill, Cliff Run, Chambliss, Free Lane, Moxley
Elementary, middle school, and high school students who reside on these roads can be picked up at BUCKSKIN ELEMENTARY beginning at 3:00.
Our buses will not be running routes on the following roads:
Briar Hill, Ferno, Barrett Mill, Browning, Snake, Hardins Creek, Jury, Wilson, Dunn, Beaver, Winegar
Elementary, middle school, and high school students who reside on these roads can be picked up at RAINSBORO ELEMENTARY beginning at 3:15.
Our buses will not be running routes on the following roads:
Beatty/Watt, Todhunter
Elementary, middle school, and high school students who reside on these roads can be picked up at their school beginning immediately with no penalty for leaving early.
If you are unable to pick your child up, please contact the office of the school where your child attends. If after 4:00, please call 937-981-2152. We will try to help in any way that we can when it comes to arranging transportation. We appreciate your cooperation!
***PLEASE understand that our drivers will be working hard to get children home safely on the roads that can be traveled! There will be delays. Thank you for helping us to handle this challenging situation.
At this time, it would not be safe to put buses or student drivers out on the roads so we will be maintaining a regular schedule. The only change that we are making at this point is the cancellation of afternoon preschool. In addition, we will not be transporting morning preschoolers home at the regular time. We would prefer that morning preschool parents pick their children up, but if that is not possible, they will not be transported home until the end of the elementary school day. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your cooperation!
