The Carver Public Schools will have a one-hour delay on Friday, February 27. There will be no morning or afternoon preschool.
As previously noted, in order to open school on Friday, school bus routes had to be assessed and modified. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to our bus drivers who drove their routes today to assess current road conditions. Their firsthand observations allowed us to develop the modified bus routes and stops.
Some routes will remain unchanged, while others require consolidation or temporary elimination of certain bus stops. You will receive an email from the Transportation Department detailing your student’s bus route by no later than 9 pm. The email will include a list of all scheduled stops on that route. If your usual stop is not listed, we ask that you select the stop along the route that you are most comfortable using or plan to drive your student to school.
The modified bus routes will also be posted on the transportation portion of our website at https://carver.org/carver-home/parentsandfamilies/transportation/ by the morning.
Please note: that the times listed on the bus routes reflect a normal school day schedule. Because we are operating on a one-hour delay tomorrow, pickup times will be approximately one hour later than the listed times.
We understand that these adjustments may result in an increase in student drop-offs. One purpose of the one-hour delay is to allow for an extended drop-off window and to provide families additional time as we transition.
- At the Middle High School, student drop-off will take place from 7:45–8:15 a.m.
- At the Elementary School, drop-off will run from 8:45–9:15 a.m
Our intention is to return to a normal start time on Monday and to use the modified bus routes only as long as necessary.
Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and understanding during this time. We will return to our normal busing schedule as soon as conditions allow. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Scott Knief
Superintendent
