Aurora School

Rick Bachtel 31-21 will not be running this evening. Students who ride Rick's bus that live on Route 50 will ride Strawser's bus 81 and should arrive at the same time as usual. Students that live on Stemple Ridge will ride Dan's bus and will be arriving home approximately 40 minutes late. Any Bible Club students who ride Rick's bus on the high school run will need to be picked up from the school.

October 20-24, 2025 is National School Bus Safety Week. Keep bus stop safety at the top of your list this school year. School buses carry our most precious cargo—our children. Every stop is a chance to protect their journey. We thank our community members for following the law, our local law enforcement for monitoring and enforcing the laws, and our PCS Bus Drivers for ensuring our students' safety to and from our schools and events.

Red Ribbon Week is coming! See the flyer below for spirit days.

Early Dismissal Reminder - Tomorrow, Friday October 17th is a 2 hour early dismissal for students.
