Please note that all listed times are approximate. You should plan to arrive at both drop-off and pick-up locations by the earliest estimated time. A variety of factors—such as traffic, weather conditions, students being unsure whether it is a bus-ride day, or delays at an earlier stop—can affect these estimates.
Additionally, please remember that our school calendar differs slightly from the rest of the Mat-Su Borough School District, so schedules may not always align perfectly with district-wide timelines.
