Flat Gap Elementary School

Alternate Bus Pick Up Locations!!!! If the students ride on a bus that has roads that are not driven tomorrow, students need to be at pick up spots a little earlier than their normal pick up time (keeping in mind the one hour delay). Bus drivers will be patient and wait as long as possible at the designated pick up spots. Flat Gap will open our doors at 7:15 am if you need to drop your students off at normal school hours. #GreyhoundGrit #WhateverItTakes https://docs.google.com/document/d/16JxJgzlJm6-bns17zTC_9N4P-NdxeW0ulWzstj6bRpE/edit?usp=sharing
