SOUTH END BUS ALERT
Due to severe icy conditions some of our routes in the south end that are servicing Frances Kelsey Secondary are taking extra time to cover as our bus drivers navigate these conditions. If a route is impassable, families will receive an email from our Transportation department and possibly a follow up call from Frances Kelsey Secondary. Please be cautious on the roads and leave lots of space for our buses and our students. #sd79 #fkss
