Good Evening Mountaineers! This is your principal Matt Scott with a quick update.
I wanted to let everyone know that the Bill Hall Bridge over the Mitchell River just below the school will be closed beginning March 11. The hope is that it will open in November, but regardless of when the DOT finishes, this will be a long closure and will cause changes to morning and afternoon routines involving our students.
Our buses will have the following changes: Students who live on Liberty School Rd. or Golden Rd. will now ride bus 37 and their pickup and drop-off times will not change. Bus 37 morning times will be approximately 10 minutes earlier and Bus 37 afternoon times will be approximately 10 minutes later. Bus 36 morning times wil be approximately 10 min. early and drop off times will also be approximately 10 min. early.
If you normally drive your student to school and use the bridge, please plan for an extra 10 min. to get here as well.
Those are all the announcements for tonight. I look forward to seeing our Mountaineers back on campus after Spring Break on March 11.
