ATTENTION PARENTS/GUARDIANS

Beginning Monday, May 4, Sunland Asphalt will begin seal coating streets in your area. This work is scheduled to continue through Tuesday, May 12.

The safety of our students is our highest priority. Due to road closures, restricted access, and increased traffic congestion within the construction zones, Continental School District buses will be unable to safely enter these areas for regular pick-up and drop-off services during this time.

To ensure transportation services continue, temporary centralized bus stop locations will be established outside of the affected construction zones. Please note that although construction will shift locations daily, ongoing congestion and limited roadway access will prevent buses from safely navigating these neighborhoods throughout the duration of the project.

We understand that these temporary changes may cause inconvenience for families. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as this necessary road maintenance is completed to improve the safety and quality of our community streets.

Temporary Bus Stop Locations and Times:

Zone 1 (Green): May 4–May 6 (Little Park – see attached map) Madera Highlands North Park, 808 N Highlands Grove Ln.

● Morning Pick-Up: 7:15 AM
