Longshot, I know -- Barnesville in MoCo?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have a child attending this school? I just did a drive-by yesterday to see how far away the school is from us (we're in Gaithersburg). The school provides bus service from the Kentlands, but those country roads are steep and curvy. I wonder what snow and ice does to the bus service in the winter. They are having an open house soon, and I'll ask then, but was just wondering if there are any parents of current students here who can comment on what winter does to the roads and bus schedule. I fear that what's now a 25 minute trip could easily be hours.

I also like this school. Sounds great

I have children attending, but it would be disingenuous to wear a "parent" hat in this reply...

Since I didn't hear this question at yesterday's Open House, I presume you still are wondering about the commute. Rather than take up space on this message board, I'd be happy to have our Facilities Director answer your question, or we can put you in touch with a fellow Gaithersburg parent to get the "unvarnished truth". Please feel free to call or email.
