Reminder to Families: If your child is not going to be riding the bus PLEASE be sure to call the bus barn, 319-627-4288, no later than 6:30 AM so that their bus driver knows! Buses leave the bus barn before building secretaries begin their work day, so drivers aren't aware of absences reported to school buildings before beginning their routes.
