If you are not going to ride please call Jeff Wellik - 515.708.1494 or 515.450.5930 by 6:30 am.

Times are estimated. Please be ready early to avoid delays. Remember buses do not have time to wait at each stop. Weather and road conditions will affect travel times. Please be patient during inclement weather.

It may take a week or so to get times adjusted and AM/PM times may vary, and again after the preschool routes get added to the regular routes. You must check with your driver in advance to see if there are seats available before having guests ride with your child. - Thank you.

Shuttle Bus Times - the shuttle bus service is a free service, to transport students who live in Roland to Story City for elementary or high school, and from Story City to Roland for middle school. Parents are responsible for getting their students to either the elementary, middle school or high school in the mornings for this service. It is not necessary for parents to let Jeff know if their student will not be utilizing the shuttle bus on any given day.
