Dear Families,

As we begin the new school year, I want to extend my sincere appreciation for your patience and support. Our Transportation Department is working diligently to ensure all students are safely transported to and from school each day.

This afternoon, please be advised that some of our school buses may experience delays in their scheduled drop-off times. These delays are due to the typical adjustments and coordination efforts that occur during the first few days of school as routes are finalized, and ridership patterns are established.

We understand that timely transportation is essential, and we are actively monitoring and addressing any issues to improve efficiency. We kindly ask for your continued patience and understanding as our team works through these initial challenges.

If you have any immediate concerns or need assistance, please contact our Transportation Department directly at Transportation@sumter.k12.fl.us or 352-793-5705.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us ensure a safe and successful start to the school year.

Warm regards,

Superintendent of Schools
