Reminder to parents about buses
COAL TOWNSHIP - Shamokin Area School District reminds parents who have changed addresses, sitters or day-care providers to notify the district of the changes as soon as possible.
Those who have made changes over the summer months may require a new bus stop, and changes requested to close to the start of the school year may not take immediate effect.
Parents are asked to stop by any district office and fill out a change of address form. Forms also are available on the district website at www.indians.k12.pa.us under the "business office" tab: click on "documents and forms" and "parent forms" to find the change of address file. Parents can also call 648-5752 or send requests to Transportation, Shamokin Area School District, 2000 W. State St., Coal Township 17866.
