Due to exceptionally high interest in the NBAHS Vikings football state tournament game Friday, Nov. 17, and the challenge of providing fan/family bus transportation to the event while also busing students home at the regular afternoon time, North Branch Area Public Schools is announcing early school dismissal this Friday, Nov. 17.


Bused students will depart NBAPS for home at 1:15 p.m. on Friday, roughly 90 minutes earlier than is typical. Parents/guardians should expect their students to arrive at home approximately 90 minutes earlier than a typical day.


For parents picking up young children, student dismissal times are below:

Sunrise: 1 pm

Middle School/Ed Center: 1:15 pm


It’s going to be a sea of red and white at U.S. Bank Stadium this Friday! We hope to see you there!

Fan and family buses to U.S. Bank Stadium

Students/families seeking transportation to U.S. Bank Stadium this Friday have two options:


Student Fan Bus: Students in grades 7-12 can sign up to ride a fan bus to the game on Friday. No families are permitted on this bus. Families wanting to ride with their grade 7-12 students will need to travel on the family fan bus together. Registration and payment are online only. $6/student to ride the student fan bus (ticket for the game must be purchased separately). The fan bus will leave from the HS parking lot at 2:40p.m.
