There is severe weather with the possibility of tornadoes expected tomorrow morning when we would normally be running bus routes. I’m going to push back the school start times:

Middle and high school start at 10am

ECC starts at 11am

Primary school starts at 11.10 am

All sites will be closed at their regular time.

All buses depart from the bus shed at 9:00 am. You will receive a message from the Transport Department with additional information about the route time. I will monitor the weather in the morning and send additional communications if the storm timeline changes and we are unable to run the buses at 9am.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and stay tuned for the weather tonight and tomorrow morning.

In a message to families, Union City Schools said:

UC Families, with severe inclement weather forecast to be in our area tomorrow morning and wind dynamics expected to be in the severe range during regular morning traffic for our bus drivers, teachers and students, we want to ensure the safety of everyone by plans for tomorrow start late.

The buses leave at 9:30 am.

The school doors open at 10:00 am as long as all the severe weather has cleared the area.

If not and we need to adapt, we will do so tomorrow morning. We hope that by getting this information out early it will help families plan accordingly.

Stay safe and weather aware.
