We were made aware this morning about 8:30 a.m. that an activity bus traveling to Bloomington was involved in a one-vehicle accident. The bus ended up off the road on its side. We are not aware of any injuries and have been in contact with all of those on the bus and the parents of all students on the bus. We are assured everyone is safe at this time. Out of an abundance of caution, all of those on the bus were taken to local hospitals. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the District office.
