Due to the paving work being completed on Route 903 and North Street by the Jim Thorpe Area High School and L.B. Morris campuses, busses may be running later than usual, both before and after school, for the next few days. We just want to make our families aware of these possible delays in our school transportation, so you have time to adjust accordingly. Thank you for your understanding as these possible delays are unavoidable due to the road work being done.
