Deerfield Elementary and Willard Elementary School will open their doors at 8:00 AM. Parents are not to send students to school before these times. We recommend that elementary students not arrive until 8:00 AM.
Bus routes and drivers should be somewhat similar to the past school year. The staggered start time for Baker and Willard will allow for better transportation of those students and fewer transfers of young students at the high school. Drivers will be contacting parents regarding pick-up and delivery times before the first day of school.
Parents are reminded that transportation to babysitters must be requested on forms available at the schools. The School Corporation will address those requests ONLY AFTER all regular transportation is finalized. It may take up to two weeks after the start of school to make special transportation accommodations. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from babysitters until notified by the transportation office that their request has been granted.
