Camden County Schools is committed to ensuring the safe transportation of our students to and from school every day. As a proactive measure, we want to inform you that there will be delays for afternoon buses on Friday, November 15th. This delay is due to a shortage of drivers and the scheduling of high school athletic events. On this date, parents and guardians should be aware that the afternoon bus services will be affected. If these delays impact your schedule, we recommend contacting your child’s school to make arrangements for picking up your student at dismissal, if necessary. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate these challenges to support all our students while prioritizing their safety and well-being. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support of Camden County Schools.
