We were notified by Palmer Bus Service that the bus route times are posted into your Infinite Campus Parent Portal! In the transportation tab, it should say "Effective: 9/03/2024". If yours is not updated, please send an email with your information to info@isd2071.org and we will pass it on to the bus company.
Please note, for those of you on Bus Routes 18 & 21 your times will be different than previous years due to the County Road 9 Bridge being out by the Rapidan Dam.
These times are approximate and could vary by a few minutes each way, especially to start the year so please be prepared.

Investing in Tomorrow's World | Referendum 2024
The School Board has been gathering information throughout the past year and has decided to present a referendum to our district residents in the November 2024 election. Due to the increasing needs for maintenance and upkeep of our facilities and grounds, coupled with insufficient Long Term Facility Maintenance funds, voters will be asked to consider a $6.5 million bond referendum to support these projects.
For more information, please visit: www.isd2071.org/referendum2024.
Several upcoming opportunities will be available to meet with school superintendent Mr. Brett Benson and our Board members to answer any questions you may have. Please check the page listed above for those dates and times!
