I apologize for the late notice, but this message is for all students who live on Grassy Fork, Fields Hollow, and Tater knob. We just had a driver call off and we're going to have to do a semi double route. Students who live on these roads will be leaving at 2:30 today and will be dropped off about 30 minutes earlier than normal. If you're not able to be home to get your child, please call one of the offices and let us know and we will figure out another way to get your child home. Again I apologize for the inconvenience.
