Important Transportation Notice for Bus 220 – Temporary Route Change
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to ongoing construction on Universal Drive over the next two days, Bus 220 will be unable to safely and reliably reach the Harmony Heights area and its regular stop on Universal without experiencing significant delays.
To ensure timely arrival at school, we are asking for your support in making alternate transportation arrangements for your child during this period.
For the next two mornings and afternoons:
Option 1: Please transport your child to school directly and pick them up at the end of the day.
Option 2: You may bring your child to the BJ’s Trailer Park stop at 7:20 AM for pickup and drop off will be at 3:15. This location will serve as a temporary alternate stop for BH Elementary students.
Friday is Early release. Students will be dismissed at 12:50 and arrive at BJ's trailer court at 1:15.
We understand this may cause some inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate your flexibility and cooperation as we work through these temporary changes. Regular service to Harmony Heights and Universal is expected to resume once construction is complete.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Transportation Office directly at 1-605-355-3707.
Thank you for your understanding.

This form is required annually to ensure we have the most accurate and up-to-date information for bus routing and scheduling.

Scarecrow making at Valley View Elementary! Ms. Macziewski's Jr. Kindergarten class teamed up with a fourth-grade class to assemble some great fall scarecrows. The older students helped the younger ones with the project, and everyone worked together to get it done. 🍂
