Concerned parent Mikaele Legai of Vuna, Taveuni, says he received a letter from the head teacher of the school attended by his children advising parents of the planned suspension.
Legai expressed concern about the impact the disruption could have on students, particularly those preparing to sit their Literacy and Numeracy Assessment next week.
He says the journey to school by bus normally takes between 40 minutes and one hour, but without bus services, students could be forced to walk for two to three hours each way.
