Some school buses are not running today and drivers are advised to use caution as high winds batter Unalaska.

The Department of Public Safety has issued a category one travel advisory through 4 p.m. Friday.

The buses to Westward and the Dutch Harbor side will not run today. School is in session until 2:05 at Eagle's View Elementary and 2:15 at the Unalaska City School.

Parents can pick their children up after school is dismissed at regular times. Those who aren't able to pick their children up are asked to notify the school so that school personnel can transport the children to their bus stops.
