FROM THE BUS GARAGE

We would like to remind everyone that transportation safety protocol allows for two addresses for drop off and pick up.  These addresses must be consistent (for example, M/T one address and W/TH/F second address).  

Early release Fridays are not a consistent second address.  The last early dismissal, many elementary students rode the bus home on early release Friday -- and this change had not been approved by the Transportation Department.  As a result, we had some children who got off at the wrong address. We want all our kids SAFE before and after school!

If you would like to request a change to your child’s drop off or pick up, complete the ONLINE BUS PASS FORM each time a change is needed. This is managed by the Transportation Department.

Thank you for your help!
