Around the halls of Richland Elementary.
Due to a driver shortage, we have adjusted our bus routes on Wednesday and Thursday. The Kangaroo and Deer riders will all be on the Deer (9) bus. In the morning, The Kangaroo riders will need to be ready about 10 minutes early and the Deer riders will be picked up from normal time to around ten minutes late. In the afternoon, the Deer route riders should drop off about normal time and the Kangaroo riders will be delayed about 10-15 minutes. I want to thank everyone again for their patience and understanding as we work through these situations.
The Deer bus will be late 5-10 minutes tomorrow and Thursday! Please be on the look-out for the bus. Thank you for your understanding!!!

I would once again like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding during what has been a trying time for all of us.
I would like to thank all of the people who have kept us up and running during this time. To our faculty, staff, and administration for all of the extra responsibilities they have had to shoulder. I would also like to send a special shout out to Tyler Brown and our transportation department for filling the routes and facilitating getting our students to and from school. Another big thank you as well to Laquey, Stoutland, and Dixon for their assistance during this time.

Due to COVID-19 reasons, we are down to only two bus drivers. Because of this we will not be able to run buses tomorrow, Wednesday October 14. We ask that anyone who can find alternative transportation to get your students to school please find a way to do so. This will give us the opportunity to see where we are at moving forward. Since we have just recently had most of our quarantined students return, we are doing everything we can to keep providing the best quality for education for our students. We will still run a bus to Waynesville Career Center and the Great Circle/Discovery routes. We will send out an update once we look at our options and formulate our plan.
