John H. Woodson Junior High School bus pickups will be delayed today

KINGSHILL — The bus pickup times for John H. Woodson students will be delayed today, February 24, 2025 on St. Croix, the Virgin Islands Department of Education said.

The bus company, Abramson Enterprises, Inc., informed VIDE that students will be picked up at 7:30 am instead of 6:45 am, as a result of a rotation in drivers due to the flu.

Areas that will be affected include:

WALTER I.M. HODGE PAVILION, MARLEY HOMES, LAGOON STREET COMPLEX, ESTATE LA GRANGE.  

Abramson Enterprises, Inc., “apologizes for any inconvenience that the delays may cause.”
