Transportation Update for Monday, February 2, 2026

Due to the condition of certain roadways, Marietta City Schools will implement our contingency transportation plan on Monday, February 2, 2026 to ensure student safety.

If your student rides one of the buses listed below, please review the contingency transportation plan linked at the end of this message to see how your route may be impacted, including designated pick-up points and adjusted times.

This is the first time this plan is being implemented, and while every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, there may be a small margin of error in some pick-up times. We appreciate your patience and ask for grace as our drivers and transportation team navigate this process.

Attendance & Family Support:
School will be in session, and families are encouraged to use the assigned pick-up points if they are able.

If a family is unable to safely travel to a designated pick-up point, please notify your child's school.

In these situations, the absence will be excused, and students will be provided the opportunity to make up any missed work.
