MVHS Activity/Late Bus
Reported by marchel_rogers@ipsd.org on 8/20/09
Metea Valley will be providing a late departure bus program for the upcoming school year. This is a convenience for families experiencing extremely high levels of traffic congestion and delays during rush hour.
The bus will drop students at satellite stops only. Many students will be able to walk home from that point. Some parents may need to drive to the stop to transport their student home. Students will advise the driver which stop they need when they sign the driver’s daily roster.
Start Date: August 20, 2009
Departure Schedule:
MVHS 5:30 PM parent turnaround/north side Monday-Friday
Estimated Stop Times:
1. 5:45 PM- Hill Middle School
2. 6:00 PM- May Watts Elementary
3. 6:10 PM- Cowlishaw Elementary School
4. 6:30 PM- Still Middle School
DEPARTURE TIMES ARE FIRM, STOP TIMES MAY VARY SLIGHTLY.
=========================================
Previously, the 'late bus' dropped kids off at the feeder middle schools... For the Cowlishaw and Watts area, that meant way up at Hill (worse to get to/from in rush hour than WV itself).
This is a good change in stop logic.
