Rumor has it that the buses will have to start picking up students at 6:30 a.m. in order to make two stops at Wilderness Oak then Hardy Oak. Is this true?

Here’s the latest information concerning the general bus pick up times for the Rogers Ranch/Vineyard subdivision areas, in general. The same buses that have been serving the subdivisions to transport students to Wilderness Oak for the past two years will remain the same and possibly more to best service the two areas for the start of this coming school year to/from Wilderness Oak/Hardy Oak schools. Pick up times for the beginning of next school year will be very close to the same times now with a possible earlier pick up times not to start any time before 6:40 a.m. (last resort) for a few farther-away locations. Every effort will be made to remain as close to last year’s times as best possible in order for the buses to be able to continue their middle school and high school morning runs as applicable. The earlier pick up times for elementary schools for the last two school years were district-wide and must continue into next school year as best possible to maintain consistency and fairness for all elementary students across the District.

More definitive bus schedules and bus stop details can be found at http://www.neisd.net/ComRel/News/NEISD_LLVRBusRoutes_070212.htm. Once school starts, there could possibly be an opportunity to make a modification(s) if a situation(s) might permit. Again, thank you for your interest and patience.
