Bus Schedules
In case of snow or ice ...
On days when snow or icy conditions may make driving our higher elevation bus routes more hazardous, we have "snow day" bus stops where we pick up students farther down the hill than usual to prevent a potentially unsafe trip for the bus. If you live past one of these points, you can bring your child down to the "snow day" bus stop to have them transported to school via bus.
A potential scenario for this is a day when there is snow or ice in these neighborhoods, but not in the town of Brookings or Harbor, so school remains in session. Another scenario where this might occur is if the weather worsens during the school day and school is released early or on time, but climbing these routes are deemed unsafe for our school buses. In all cases, our Transportation Department makes every effort to contact the phone numbers on file for regular bus riding students to alert families of the change to pick-up location and schedule. When school is canceled or closed, the news is posted to our district website front page and sent out via the channels listed on our "School Closures" webpage.
The snow day bus stops are:
- Route B/Bus 67: Pick up for Gardner Ridge students will by the Upper Chetco Rural Fire Protection District building "volunteer fire department" located at the intersection of Gardner Ridge and Lewis Creek Road.
- Route 4/Bus 70: Pick up for students from the upper Carpenterville Road areas will be at the corner of Carpenterville Road and Rainbow Rock Road.
- Route G/Bus 71: Pick up for Cape Ferrello area students will be at the base of Cape Ferello road, just before the intersection with Highway 101.
Please call or email the BHSD Transporation Office with questions, and always report a missed bus right away in case the school can swing back with another ride option shortly.
