With the return of busing, Beavercreek High School's start and end times will also change. Beginning on the 31st, students should report to school at 8:12 a.m. They will be dismissed at 3:12 p.m. This schedule will continue through the end of the school year.
There also will be changes to some bus assignments for elementary, middle school and non-public school students.
Beavercreek parents should visit their child's school website home page between March 20 and March 30 to check for their child's route and pickup information.
Students who live in the district but do not attend Beavercreek Schools will receive additional instructions from their school, as well as the Beavercreek school district website.
Families without Internet access can call the transportation department at 429-7531, extension 1, between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. from March 20 to March 30 to obtain bus and schedule information.
In January, Beavercreek school officials said high school busing would be reinstated as soon as trained and qualified drivers were hired and ready to work.
Parents and students completed online registration for busing service earlier this year, so that a computer program could plan the most efficient routes.
Many are hoping the return of busing will alleviate traffic congestion near the high school.
In January, Capt. Eric Grile of the Beavercreek Police Department said it was not uncommon for bumper-to-bumper traffic to stretch a solid mile and a half on Dayton-Xenia Road eastbound to the high school.
"Congestion is a major traffic issue for us in Beavercreek whether it's school start time or the malls at Christmas," said Grile.
