The St. Joseph School District will resume in-person classes on Monday, Jan. 24.

This comes after the district had to shut down both in-person and virtual learning all of this past week due to staff shortages related to COVID-19 and other illness.

The district said in a release Friday that bus transportation will still be limited, due a current shortage of drivers.

Roughly 27 bus routes will be canceled on Monday and Tuesday, with the possibility of different routes being canceled on Wednesday and Thursday as well.

All bus routes are cancelled for the St. Joseph Early Learning Center.

Parents are encouraged to find transportation alternatives, but if they can’t, parents can contact their school and report the absence. Students will be excused from classes and time will be allotted for students to makeup missed assignments.

The district is also canceling their Early Release Days on Wednesdays for the rest of the school year.
