Transportation/ Bus Families
If your child is a regular bus rider and is not riding the bus home, please contact the school to let us know. When your child doesn’t show up for the bus at the end of the day and you don’t share the plan with us, we spend a great deal of time looking for them in the school, on the playground, and calling family members to find out where they are. All of this takes time and delays the departure of the bus. Kindly let the office know of changes to transportation.
We will be asking all bus riding students to report to the bus driver if their parents meet them at school unexpectedly. Our responsibility is to take bus attendance, know who is on the bus, and where all riders are. When students who are expected on the bus don’t arrive and we have no indication of any change we must proceed with a full missing student search. This takes time and most often results in finding the child left with their parent. Kindly call us if your plans change and you will be taking your child from the school grounds at the end of day.
