Herbert Green Middle School

Ongoing changes to staffing have caused us to shift some of our routes to the El Dorado High School District. Due to this change, pick up and drop off times for routes have been impacted. Please see the new, updated route schedules in the link below that will take effect beginning on Monday, August 26th. Please note that buses may not have our district’s name on the them since we are utilizing the high school district for bussing. If you have any questions, please contact our Transportation Department at 530-626-4831. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate this transition.

We have been monitoring the weather and the road conditions in our area. Based on what we are seeing, and out of an abundance of caution, Indian Creek and Herbert Green will be closed Monday, February 27th. As we have experienced, our weather can shift rapidly and produce dangerous conditions. We hope you stay safe and warm.
