Thank you all for your patience with transportation from Pescadero to La Honda this afternoon. With trees down on both Highway 84 and Pescadero Creek Road, we had to get creative with getting students home safely. I appreciate the flexibility of our families and our amazing transportation staff as we navigated the consequences of a stormy day.
We will be checking the roads in the morning (12/14) and adjusting roads as necessary.
