Yellow bus service may be delayed on Monday, February 2, 2026 due to snow and icy road conditions, particularly on smaller side streets.

The safety of our students and drivers is our top priority. Routes will be adjusted as needed based on road conditions, and families will be individually notified in the case of any changes.

MTA bus transportation may experience delays as well. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this prolonged period of inclement weather.
