ELEPHANT BUS ROUTE CHANGE
Attention riders of the Elephant Bus, driven by Mr. Hardin … The times of both the morning and afternoon routes \will be significantly different for some riders. On the morning route, Mr. Hardin will begin in Higden with the first stop at 6:50 a.m. He will continue through Greers Ferry, past the Edgemont Bridge and turn around at the former KFFB Radio location near 7:15. From there, the bus will work its way to campus. The afternoon route will leave campus for the former KFFB location and end in Higden. For Tuesday’s first day of school, morning riders will need to approximate the time along the new route and arrive early at your designated bus stop. Within the first few days of school, times will become more predictable. If you have any questions, please contact the school at (501) 825-6258.
