“We want to thank all families who have shown kindness and understanding in the face of tremendous inconvenience. We appreciate your continued patience as we partner to weather this challenging time,” reads a statement from AAPS.

“We would also like to applaud those bus drivers and bus monitors who work every day to safely transport our students. They are frontline workers who are dedicated to our daily mission.”

The district reminded AAPS families that capacity is limited on buses and that, for safety reasons, students cannot use routes not assigned to them.
