Message from the Superintendent:

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome back to school! As we begin a new school year, we want you to be aware of some construction zones that may delay traffic on the first few days of school, and urge you to use alternative routes to school and patience should buses experience slight delays.

As you are likely aware, construction continues along 700 East. While the project has progressed since last spring, and the construction company plans to push traffic through the corridor during school commuting hours, some delays are expected. Additionally, construction is underway at 11400 South with the development of freeway onramps and may cause delays. Minimal delays are expected on 1300 East near Creek Road.

While Canyons School District’s Transportation Department has been examining routes to avoid much of the anticipated traffic congestion, some buses may be slightly delayed in the first few days of school. We would ask for your patience at this time, and, if you plan to drive your children to school, to leave a few minutes early and seek alternate routes to avoid construction zones. Also, we’d like to remind you to keep an eye out for children walking to school on the sides of roads and on crosswalks, and join our efforts to make the start of the school year a safe one.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
