Letter to Parents - School DISTRICT Bus Update “Winter Weather” Route/Stop Changes
December 9, 2009
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
The “winter” bus routes/adjustments are scheduled to be implemented on TUESDAY, December 15, 2009 and end March 5, 2010.
• The WINTER ROUTES have been placed on our website (www.northsmithfieldschools.com) entitled “SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION” on the left side of the web page.
• Should you not have access to the internet, we have asked The Valley Breeze to include this information in their next earliest edition.
• Please contact the appropriate building administrator to have a hard copy of the routes sent home with your child.
Please understand that these route/stop changes:
• Will require between 5 to 8 minutes earlier [approximately] PICK UP start time for ONLY the ELEMENTARY bus routes in the morning - not for the MS/HS routes.
• Are scheduled to be implemented on TUESDAY, December 15, 2009 and end March 5, 2010
Should the weather warrant a later ending, you will be informed through notices home, principals’ newsletters, and/or our district web site - www.northsmithfieldschools.com.
Please accept First Student’s apology for the lateness in receiving this information and please accept our “thanks” for your patience, cooperation and, most of all, your assistance in helping us implement the necessary bus route, bus stop, and time changes.
Sincerely,
Stephen F. Lindberg
Superintendent of Schools
P.S. Please remember to refer this site for principal and administrators’ newsletters, critical information updates, bus routes, past notifications to parents, transportation policies, bus schedules, etc. Although we are revamping our web site, at this point it is still very functional.
