Hello West Clayton Parents and Families, This is Dr. B, Assistant Principal. We wanted to let you know that in an effort to improve arrival and dismissal times for our students who ride Bus 706, we have worked with JCPS Transportation Team to look at all of our bus routes and have made some changes that will positively impact our students, increasing the amount of instructional time they receive on a daily basis. This change, while beneficial, will impact four of our current bus routes. In order for you all to be aware of the Transportation changes that impact your child, please download the Edulog App and sign up for notifications. This app allows parents to receive up to date information about bus assignments, as well as track the bus as it is on its way to and from school. If you already have the app and have signed up for notifications, you may already have seen the new route and assignment information for your child. We are also making calls today to those who are impacted. The routes affected are Bus 706 of course, 623, 192/72, and 702. Again, being informed about up to date bus information will occur most seamlessly if you have the Edulog App. These new routes are set to begin NEXT Wednesday, October 16th in the morning. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at the school- 919-553-7113. We are hopeful this change will not only increase the amount of time students are in the classroom receiving instruction, but also help with students getting home a little earlier in the afternoons. Thank you for your attention to this message. As always, we appreciate your support and are “Better Together!”
