Hershey Stakeholder,
With the recent snowstorm we want to ensure all roads are passable and that all students get to and from school safely. The district has been out to observe many of the District’s rural roads and will continue to monitor as the snow begins to melt. The county did a great job removing snow! We have a great rapport with the Lincoln County Road Superintendent and want to hear from you if you have concerns with your county road that the bus may be traveling down. If you have specific concerns with your road, due to the recent snow, please email Mr. Thomsen at jared.thomsen@hpspanthers.org so that he can work with the county on getting it addressed. At this time all routes (door to door and south option stops (Miller School & Wagon Trail)) appear to be run as “normal” except the north option stop (Highway 30 & Range Road). This option stop will be temporarily moved to the Lincoln County Fairgrounds starting Monday, March 11, 2024. The pick up and drop-off times will remain the same. The district will communicate any further changes as the road conditions change.
Please note that as the snow melts we may have to make adjustments or arrangements to ensure that our students stay safe. The school will continue to communicate changes as conditions change. We ask that you communicate potential hazards to Mr. Thomsen and your route driver as needed. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding with the recent weather and road conditions!
Jared Thomsen
