Reminder: Today is early dismissal for the start of Spring Break.
Manor dismisses at 1:30pm; Hensey dismisses at 2:00pm.
Attention Manor and Hensey parents, thank you for all your patience and understanding with the series of changes in transportation this school year. After we return from Spring Break, beginning on Tuesday, April 2nd we will resume our 4 bus route with drivers and timing that we had at the beginning of the school year. This will bring us back to our "normal" times with no routes needing to leave school early, and no routes running on a later dismissal. If you have questions about the timing, please see the documents below, or you may access them on our website under "D50 Bus Information".
