Snow Routes

Snow Routes are updated annually.  Snow Routes for the 2025-2026 are below.

Transportation service to the following schools/programs will be canceled when the district is operating on snow routes or a two-hour delay:

  • Bonny Slope 
  • Nancy Ryles 
  • Sato
  • Terra Nova 
  • McKinney-Vento students that reside outside of the district
  • All morning Preschool programs
  • All morning BECC Programs

Transportation service to the remaining schools will be limited when the district is operating on snow routes. 

Routes are in one of three categories:  

  1. Regular Route: Stops and times remain as normal.
  2. Snow Route: Modifications are made to the regular route and specific stops are listed.
  3. Route Canceled: This occurs because the regular stops are not accessible because of snow and/or ice. In some cases, a stop may be moved from one route to another route for efficiency. If your route is canceled, please check other snow routes for the closest stop with service. 

We apologize for any inconvenience that you may experience when inclement weather conditions cancels or modifies transportation service. For specifics on limited service, please locate your school from the list below.
