Attached are maps of the bus pickup stops located in the City of Stanley. Stops are marked with a red "X". Please have your children at the stops and ready by 7:50. We can adjust times for pickup once the bus route is more routine. The stop at Connie's Daycare will be in the alley during the time of construction on 4th Street SE. These stops are very similar to last year.

Please have your children out there, ready for the bus, by 7:45 am. After school, the bus will make a first loop through the development dropping off elementary students. He will then return to the high school, pick up those students, then make a second loop through the Rian Addition before proceeding on to the rural homes.
Bus information: Bus #17 (Alan Tillinghast), Bus #29 (Brence Wilson), Bus #15 (David Williams) and Bus #4 (Anika Leith) have had some changes to their rural routes. They will be reaching out to those families to share contact information and set up approximate pick up times. Their town stops will remain much the same as last year.
