An Important Message regarding Bussing

Last school year, there was an addition to the medication policy, which may effect your child.

Any student who may require administration of emergency medication by the bus driver shall ride only his/her assigned bus.

This would include students who have an Epipen for bee stings, diabetic children, epileptic students, etc. It is important that the bus driver in supervision is familiar with the students with chronic or acute health issues. In addition, the emergency medication or treatment must remain soley on the child’s bus.

2010-11 Bus Routes

Buses do not stop at every student's house. Buses use ‘cluster’ stops where students will need to gather at a central location for pick up. Information relative to bus routes for each building, are listed below.

Kindergarten Parents

The first day of school is a big step for your little one and you too.

We would like to assure you that your child's safety is our main concern.

First of all, we have spent several days preparing our kindergarten routes. Our routes are set up so that as few children as possible will have to cross the street. Unfortunately, a few must cross anyway. Your child will participate in a special safety program pertaining to crossing the road and how to ride safely in a bus.

You can help us by telling your child to let the driver cross him or her. It is very important to instill in your child the idea that he/she must listen to and obey the driver at all times.

Children must remain seated with no screaming or yelling while riding the bus. Also, no eating or drinking on the bus.

Your child's driver has been trained to handle children and the bus under all types of conditions. We are equipped with two-way radios, and the drivers are in constant contact with the office, each other, and the police department.

Routes are scheduled so that we pick up or drop off your child at approximately the same time each day. The time may vary according to the weather. Sometimes we are delayed by heavy traffic, but as a rule, we won't vary over five minutes.

During the first few weeks of school the bus route may have to be altered for various reasons. If any drastic change occurs you will be notified. Please allow a five minute leeway and have your child ready.

Please be patient with us for a couple of weeks while the drivers learn their routes, their stops, and the children's names. We would appreciate it if you would be at your child's stop or have someone else there to meet them. If you can't or don't have someone else to meet your child, please write a note letting us know it's OK to drop your child off without someone else meeting them.

In cold weather our buses are not as warm as a car, so please be sure your child dresses in warm clothing and warm foot wear.

Should any questions or problems arise during the school year you may contact the transportation office at 637-8746. We will be happy to help and cooperate at all times.
