Athletics Schedule for today.
OA Transportation Update:
Good Afternoon,
The OA Transportation Department is working hard to address the delays that several of our bus routes have been experiencing over the first few days of school. There are multiple factors that are impacting the timing of our routes and we are actively working through them all. One of the items that you as a family could help us with, would be to communicate directly with the bus garage if your child won’t be using district transportation. Our drivers continue to stop at many houses on their routes where students haven’t come out to ride the bus. As you can imagine, even brief delays waiting for students that never come out, adds on unnecessary time to routes and any adjustment that can be made will help in the end. If families can commit to NOT using the buses, this would be something that could help us decrease our route time. Please call the bus garage and let us know as soon as possible. (607) 687-7305.
If your circumstances change and you would like to start using district transportation again, that can be fixed with a phone call at any time.
We are asking families to take the time to think through their transportation needs and contact us with any adjustments that can be made.
Please contact us at (607) 687-7305 with any questions or to make changes to your transportation needs.
We will never forget. 💙🇺🇸❤️ #OACommunity #OATogether #NeverForget @corey__green
