IMPORTANT Abingdon Transportation Information: As of today we are beyond our State Mandated busing capacity (48/bus) for our Abingdon routes. If you have any alternative options - please call your building principal to opt off a bus route. If numbers do not come down, the district will be forced to reduce the number of town riders in Abingdon. A reduction will lead to prioritizing three factors: 1. Country Riders. 2. Daycare facilities. 3. Proximity to Hedding Grade School.
🚨1 week until D276 returns to in-person. Three things you can do today to assist in the final planning:
1. If you plan to stay in Remote - call the office and let them know.
2. If you plan to switch from your original choice of remote to in-person - call your office and let them know.
3. If you stated during registration that you will need transportation- but now can find alternative transportation- call your office and let them know.
