The Transportation Department is reminding all students to have appropriate winter clothing when they ride the school bus. This will include but not limited to winter coats, winter footwear, head wear and hand protection.

In winter driving conditions, it is important to always be prepared for the unexpected.  This is to ensure the safety of all school bus passengers if there were to be any delays while the bus is on route.
