Important Update: 1-Hour Delay for Monday, April 7th
April 6, 2025
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to provide you with an important update regarding school operations for tomorrow, Monday, April 7th .
While much of our area has seen improvements, some outlying areas in our district remain impacted by flooding. Water continues to recede, and we will be able to open schools with a 1-hour delayed start.
Key Information:
*All schools will open with a 1-hour delay.
*Student drop-off may begin at 8:15 a.m.
*Buses will run exactly 1 hour later than their normal departure times.
*Classes will begin 1 hour later than the regular schedule.
Due to ongoing road closures and high water in some areas, our transportation team will be adjusting bus routes to include new turnaround locations. The 1-hour delay will provide additional daylight for our drivers to safely navigate these changes and ensure they can make necessary adjustments as they begin morning pickups.
We are including the most updated list of road closures from the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office and the City of Cabot below. Please note that our buses will not be able to travel along these routes.
If you live in one of these affected areas:
*Please make arrangements to meet the bus at a safe, designated location, if possible.
*If it is not safe for your child to travel, please notify your school office between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. with your child’s name and address. The absence will be excused.
