We are raising funds to help cover students outstanding school lunch debt. Every dollar makes a difference - whether it's $5 or $50, your generosity is greatly appreciated. Please know that all students eat daily whether they have the funds or not. We always take care of our students!
Starting MONDAY 4/14/25 Route 95 Morning pickup time for students will be moved up 10 Minutes due to the growing number of stops. This is to keep morning drop off times at schools the same.
Thank You for your cooperation.
Sincerely, Brookland Transportation.

Parents and Guardians,
All bus routes (Including 79 & 97) are safe and clear to travel this afternoon. Thank you so much for your patience.
Parents and Guardians,
Bus Route 79 still has sections that are underwater. The bus will not travel through these unsafe areas this afternoon. Route 97 is clear for buses to pass. Thank you!
If you received a text or voicemail today regarding your child's lunch status changing. That change was made due to your student(s) being on the list provided to the district from the state. Most likely, your child(ren) receives Medicaid. If you have any questions, please reach out to Wendy Pannell at wpannell@bpsbearcats.com
The Brookland Special Education office will hold a meeting to provide information and answer any questions of parents who live in the Brookland School District, are currently homeschooling, and have a child who has had an IEP in a public school setting. This meeting will be held on April 7th from 3:30-4:30pm at 102 Smith St. Please contact Amy Caines at (870) 336-6556 if have any questions.
Parents and guardians,
Bus routes 79 and 97 have areas that are underwater making it unsafe for the buses to travel through. If this area is still underwater in the morning, a bus will not be able to pick up your children. If you cannot get your child to school safely, please call your child's building, and we will excuse their absence. Your child's safety is of utmost importance to all of us. Be careful!

This is a reminder to please wait until 2:40 each afternoon to start lining up on Hickory Street.

Thank you for your help with this. Have a great Spring Break!
