Transportation
Transportation
Those students eligible to ride the school bus will receive a letter indicating their bus stop and time. Please report to the bus stop at least five minutes prior to the listed time. Students are required to board and depart the bus at the stop nearest to their homes to prevent over-crowding on buses. Any changes require permission from the school office. Please be patient with any changes or delays in the transportation schedule as some needed adjustments are made during the first week of school.
Kindergarten students will not be let off the bus unless an adult is present and will be returned to school if a parent is not at the bus stop to meet them. The bus driver may not accept responsibility for another person picking up your child. For this reason, if someone else will pick up your kindergarten student please inform the school.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS INFORMATION MAY CHANGE AT ANY TIME DURING REMOTE/CONCURRENT LEARNING (Contact the school or read for transportation updates in the latest Gazette for the latest information about transportation.)
If you require a change, such as riding a different bus or meeting a parent at the Kiss-N- Ride site, please send a note to your child’s teacher on the morning of the change. If a student is visiting a friend, both students must bring permission notes from their parents. Buses operate at capacity and cannot accommodate extra passengers.
