Wood River High School
The Transportation Department maintains a fleet of large and smaller buses to serve our learning community. They employ dedicated professional drivers who make sure our students reach their destinations safely and on time. Many drivers are long-term employees who truly enjoy helping students get to and from school, attend field trips, and travel to athletic competitions.
New Ketchum Express Bus at Wood River Middle School
The school district is testing a pilot project this fall at the Middle School. Routes will run in the morning as they have in the past. In the afternoon, there will be an Express Bus to Ketchum. This bus will leave directly from the Middle School and go North to Ketchum.
The only stops along the way at this time will be
East Fork Road,
St. Lukes Hospital,
Sturto's in Ketchum,
Saddle Road,
and at the YMCA.
Because this is a pilot project, only the first 50 students will be allowed on this bus. Others not able to get on the bus will be able to ride the regular buses going North. Some regular buses have changed the location of their stops, so if you live North of Hailey, please check the schedule carefully.
