From Prairie View USD 362 High School

School will be in session for tomorrow, Thursday, May 2, 2019 at Prairie View USD 362 School District unless we have excessive rains again that flood the highway east of La Cygne.

Currently it is open but if 152 Highway is closed west of La Cygne, we will provide transportation from the La Cygne Elementary school for any middle school or high school students that do not wish to drive.

The shuttle bus will leave La Cygne Elementary at 7:50 am. We will be bussing the students south through Pleasanton and back to the high school campus.

If Highway 152 is closed between La Cygne and the high school campus, Parents please plan accordingly for an alternative route to the high school campus. If you allow your students to drive, please caution them not to drive through water.

We will be very understanding of students that are running late in the next several mornings due to the high water.
