Bus Changes:
Starting Wednesday (3/16/22) 6th , 7th , & 8th grade students riding Bus #19 will begin riding Bus #12. This impacts students at the following stops: 7:00am (1st Street and Custer), 7:02am (2nd Street and Lincoln), and 7:05am (1st Street and VanBuren). Bus #12 transports students directly to RMS, thus eliminating the need for these students to shuttle.
