NOTE: INCLEMENT WEATHER/SCHOOL CLOSING INFORMATION FOR SCHOOL OF CHOICE STUDENTS
Bus transportation may be provided between Galien and River Valley Schools for school-of choice students on the days that Galien Schools close or delay due to adverse weather conditions. Alternate locations have been designated for the pick up and drop off of school-of-choice students if road conditions allow.
Weather permitting, the designated stops will be Second Street next to the library and the intersection of Karen Drive and Greenlawn Street. Approximate pick up times will be 6:40 for MHS students and 7:40 for elementary students. Drop off at these locations will be 3:00 for MHS students and 4:15 for elementary students.
In order to transport school-of-choice students through a delayed or closed district into an open district, the main route (not alternate route) must be considered passable by the transportation department, with possible consultation with Berrien County Road Commission and Sheriff.
If River Valley is closed, no routes will be run to any location or school.
If you have questions concerning road conditions, please call Mrs. Weigel at 756-7899.
Bus routes for the 10-11 School year -- all times are approximate
August 24, 2010
Parents and Students,
On behalf of the transportation staff, I want to welcome you back for the 2010-11 school year. In the interest of operating the bus runs as efficiently as possible, please note any changes that may have been made to the middle high school bus routes since last school year. Please read the following information very carefully. Information may be subject to minor changes once it is determined who will be riding the buses. The times listed below are NOT exact but are intended to give you an approximate time students may be picked up. Students should be ready to board the buses in the morning at least 5 minutes before its expected arrival.
Please call me at 756-7899 with any pertinent transportation information or questions. Once the routes are established, it would be greatly appreciated if you would call any morning that your student(s) will not need bus service.
Thank you for your patience as we work through any routing problems that may occur.
