Lightning Families --
As we prepare for the exciting start of the 2025–26 school year, we want to share some important updates regarding bussing and transportation.
🚸 New Grade Configurations Across the District This year brings several changes to our school structure:
- Elementary Schools: Now serving Kindergarten through 4th grade 
- Rolland-Warner Campus: Home to 5th and 6th grades 
- Zemmer Campus: Serving 7th and 8th grades 
- Lapeer High School & CFI: Hosting 9th through 12th grades 
🚌 Bus Route Adjustments With these changes, bus routes have been updated. You’ll receive your student’s specific transportation details within the transportation packet mailing. Please read all documents carefully.
⏰ Expect Delays During the First Weeks Please anticipate some delays during the first 1–2 weeks of school as our drivers adjust to the new routes.
- Students will not be marked tardy if they arrive late due to transportation delays. 
- Arrival and departure times may be later than usual during this adjustment period. 
📞 Questions? We're Here to Help If you have any questions, feel free to contact the LCS Bus Garage at (810) 667-2433.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these changes. We’re excited to welcome our students back and look forward to a great year ahead!
Warm regards, 
Linda Thompson 
LCS Transportation Director
