Dear Parents and Guardians,
Friendly reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday September 11th, is our first early release day.
The school year is off to a great start! We have made important changes to our school bus transportation system this year based on feedback from families last year. Your child(ren) may have experienced bus route changes due to one of the following.
Bus stop locations have been adjusted to improve route efficiency.
“Cluster” stops have been created to reduce the number of stops.
Bus run times have been decreased, giving students shorter commutes.
In the event that this has created confusion or frustrations, we apologize. Additionally, if you have requested a bus stop change, and if approved, it will take at least 48 hours to process.
We understand these changes may impact your routine. Our goal is to balance efficiency with the needs of all families. If you have concerns, please contact our transportation department, First Student, at Tracey.Brown-Gysi@firststudentinc.com.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Michael E. Tracy Jr.
Superintendent, Augusta School Department
