PEQUOT LAKES — The more our students are connected to each other and involved in after-school activities, the better our community will be.

The Pequot Lakes School District is proud of the wide range of activities, athletics, arts and after-school programming our students can access. Transportation to these activities can sometimes be a challenge or barrier for some families; therefore, the Pequot Lakes School District has started an after-school activities bus to support students and families.

District's Health & Wellness Committee works with staff to improve area health.
Bingo, sledding, night sky hikes and more entertained elementary students this winter.

This after-school activity bus is a free service for students.

Since March 28, the school district has been offering two different after-school drop-off routes for students, which includes six locations throughout the district. The buses run Monday-Friday and leave Pequot Lakes High School at 5:30 p.m.

So far, the daily average number riding the buses is around 25 students.
