BUS INFORMATION
Please know that students riding the Star Tran special route will be late to 2nd period class.
To make sure they are not counted tardy they have been given a tag for their ID which students can show to their 2nd period teacher. All other students are to be on time.
The afternoon Star Tran special route bus will leave North Star at 3:10, which is prior to the end of our 8th pd. There will be only one Star Tran bus at 4:10. The one bus leaving at 4:10 will not be sufficient to transport all students on this special route. So LPS will provide a school bus to leave North Star around 4:30 and transport students through the same special bus route. |
