Attention Squirrel Bus Families:

The After school / PM trip for the Squirrel bus will be canceled Monday, November 10th. Unfortunately families have to make alternative plans to make sure their child is transported home from school. Families of Elementary students please communicate with your child’s teacher about how your child will be transported home.

If your family has significant circumstances and you cannot find an alternate option for afternoon transportation tomorrow you can contact our Transportation Director Jim Turner / jturner@lawtoncs.org and we can do our best to try and help.

We do apologize for the inconvenience of this change, we are continuing to attempt to obtain sub bus drivers in an effort to minimize the impact felt by our families. If you know of anyone who may be interested in learning to be a Bus Driver, please have them email jturner@lawtoncs.org.
