Fall 2021 Bus Driver Shortage
Updated 9-21-21
Similar to many school districts across the state and nation, ISD 196 is experiencing a severe bus driver shortage. As a result, bus transportation for offsite athletic events could be a challenge to arrange.
The ISD 196 Transportation Department is working hard to find drivers (even contracting out to other bus companies) to accommodate middle school bus requests for sports and other activities. Students participating on sports teams may need to be dismissed from 6th period no earlier than 2:45 to accommodate transportation timing.
In the event transportation is unavailable to an offsite athletic event, students and parents will be notified via school announcements (BHMS website, Schoology and p.a. announcement) by 2:00 p.m. the day of the event. Practices will replace any canceled competitions.
Co-curricular activities in the 2021-2022 year. Please check here for information on Clubs and Activities as they begin.
Please watch for updated information a clubs are formed for the 2021-22 school year
Most clubs and activities will use a Schoology group to communicate to participating students. Please contact the Club/Activity advisor for more information
