Big Sandy ISD

This afternoon (October 2nd) and Thursday afternoon (October 5th), we are adjusting our afternoon bus routes. Mrs. Tina's Bus 103 and Mrs. Strickland's 104 will be combined.

For today only, we are making an adjustment to our afternoon bus routes. Mrs. Tina's Bus 103 and Mrs. Strickland's 104 will be combined. Our routes will go back to normal starting again on Monday.

Starting tomorrow morning (September 19), Bus Route 103 is now being split in two routes. Route 103 will still be driven by Ms. Tina and will travel on 1002, 1795, Catalan, Cypress, Sassafras, White Dogwood, Silver Maple and Wimberly. Mr. Strickland will be driving Route 104, which will include 155, Lemon, Aspen, Red Cedar, Peach, Red Maple, Boyd and Sycamore. Both routes will start picking students up at 6:30 in the morning and will allow our students to get home after school sooner. When the district is short a bus driver, we will go back to Ms. Tina driving both routes. We will announce as soon as possible on those days.

Only the Junior High is playing tomorrow evening against Linden Kildare. The game will start at 5:30 in Big Sandy. Go Wildcats!
