Hello Mustang Families,

Mora Public Schools would like to inform you that over the next several weeks, our district will be conducting bus driver training sessions during the school day to help prepare new and prospective drivers.

You may notice district school buses out and about during the day making unscheduled “mock stops” as part of this training process. Please know these are planned practice sessions—not regular bus routes.

We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as our new drivers gain experience and confidence behind the wheel. These trainings are a normal and important part of onboarding new staff to ensure student safety and high-quality transportation services.

Thank you for your continued support of Mora Public Schools and our Transportation Department!

MPS Letterhead: October 2025 Dear Mora Public Schools Parents and Guardians, Minnesota winters can make school schedules unpredictable. Our top priority is always student and staff safety when determining late starts, early releases, or school closings. The first three (3) weather-related school closure days will not be made up by students. When inclement weather occurs, we carefully consider multiple factors to make the safest and most timely decision possible. We recognize these changes can disrupt family schedules and we appreciate your understanding and flexibility. Please remember that, as a parent or guardian, you always have the final decision regarding your child’s safety and attendance. Possible Weather Decisions School on Time – Buses can travel safely. Two-Hour Late Start - Buses pick up two hours later than normal. No morning Mustang Care. Elementary classrooms open at 9:55 a.m.; class begins at 10:10 a.m. All-day preschool starts at 10:30 a.m. (no morning half-day preschool). High school classrooms open at 10:00 am; class begins at 10:10 a.m. Early Dismissal – No afternoon Mustang Care. After-school activities and practices are canceled.

Good Afternoon Mora Public Schools Parents and Guardians,
Please take a moment to read this important update regarding our district's daily transportation services.

Thank you for your attention and continued partnership in we strive to ensure safe and reliable transportation for our students.

MPS Letterhead: Subject: URGENT Transportation Notice: Potential Morning and Afternoon Bus Route Delays Dear Parents and Guardians, We want to inform you of an ongoing challenge currently affecting our daily transportation services. Mora Public Schools is currently experiencing a significant shortage of substitute bus drivers. In full transparency, this shortage means that if even one of our regular drivers is unable to drive due to illness or an emergency, it may leave an entire route temporarily without coverage. Currently, our pool of substitute drivers is limited and may not be able to fill unexpected absences immediately. In these situations, we may need to implement a "double run" for both morning and afternoon routes. This means a driver will complete their scheduled route and then return to cover the second, uncovered route. What this means for you: Morning Delays: If your bus is delayed, the replacement bus will be approximately 45-60 minutes delayed. Afternoon Delays: Students on the delayed route may need to wait at school after dismissal until the driver finishes their first route and returns. Please rest assured that our team is committed to managing these challenges safely and efficiently to get all students home as quickly and safely as possible. We understand the inconvenience this may cause and sincerely apologize for any disruption to your family’s schedule. We are actively recruiting and training new drivers to address this shortage. We will notify parents via our school notification system immediately upon confirming a driver’s absence. Please monitor your text or email notifications closely for updates. Please ensure your contact information is up to date in the ParentVUE app or by contacting your students building office. Your patience and understanding during this time are greatly appreciated. In addition, if you know of anyone interested in becoming a school bus driver, please contact us at 320-679-6230. Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, Chip Brandt Director of Transportation Gayle Stassen Transportation Assistant
