Due to the recent shortage of school bus drivers and not being able to recruit new ones, Harms Bus Company will be implementing some changes to the current school bus routes in order to accommodate all our students with the best service possible. These changes will take place beginning on Monday, December 11th.
Please be aware that some students will be riding different buses, as well as changes to some of the pickup and drop off times. Our school bus drivers have already been talking with students regarding the changes. If your child has not shared with you a specific change please contact Harms Bus Company at 920-565-2375. Harms Bus Company will do their very best to keep your family as informed as possible, as they implement these changes.
