Starting Tuesday, 9/5, we will be running our own bus route for the first time! We are so excited for this opportunity! With that being said, please be patient with us as we continue to work out the kinks of busing and transportation. We are doing everything we can to make sure that it all runs smoothly and safely for our students! Here are a couple of things to remember: - Please be ready and at your stop five (5) minutes before the time listed on the bus route sheet. This will help to smooth the pick-up process and keep us on time! - Make sure that all students are standing and waiting for the bus to come to a full and complete stop, and the doors have opened. Safety is the most important thing to us. If you have any questions, please reach out to Tanner Simmons at his email or his cell-phone number below. - tanner.simmons@fallscityschools.org - (541) 609-1292 We are so excited to see everyone on Tuesday!
