Viola School District recognizes that several roads have become compromised due to the flash flooding in the area. Bus drivers will use discretion as to what roads they can and cannot use. If you usually drive your student to school, please use your best judgment. Everyone’s safety is of utmost importance. Please remember-“turn around, don’t drown”. Feel free to call the school tomorrow morning if your student is having difficulty getting to school. Parents/Guardians of teenage drivers - please have a conversation with them about the dangers of high water crossings. Kyle McCarn GO LONGHORNS
