Transportation Tips
Parents/Families - please remember you are responsible for your child’s safety TO and FROM their designated bus stop and WHILE at the bus stop.
A school bus is a continuation of a classroom. All school rules apply on the bus as well as in the building and at events.
By law, students must be at their designated bus stop prior to the bus arriving. The bus does not have to stop if the student isn't waiting at the bus stop.
The bus garage needs to be kept up to date on any and all changes that may need to be made concerning your child’s transportation. We realize some students may need to be picked up and dropped off at a babysitters, or grandparents, please contact us to work out those details.
