• All students are to arrive at their bus stop 5 minutes before their scheduled pick up.  Please remember that it takes a week or two for schedules to solidify.  We suggest students arrive 10 minutes early until a routine is established.  The pick-up time may differ slightly from the time noted on postcards as stops may need to be moved.  Bus drivers will inform secondary students of any changes.  Elementary students will bring home memos if changes are more than 5 minutes. 

·       While we list afternoon drop off times, these are our best estimation. We certainly make every effort to honor our schedules.  However, traffic and road construction throughout the school district can impact greatly on our bus routes, as each bus is assigned with a high school and/or middle school run and one or two elementary runs.  Consequently, Although a school's dismissal time may be 3:15, buses arrive and are normally loaded at that location during a 15 minute window from 3:15 through 3:30 P.M.  We appreciate parents patience and understanding as drop off times fluctuate due to changing conditions.

·         We ask parents to be patient during the first two weeks of each new school year.   Drivers need time to adjust to new stops on their runs and to the needs of their passengers.   We are especially mindful of the kindergarten and first grade students during this time.  Additionally, individual schools extend the time for loading each bus to ensure that all students are placed on the correct bus. 

·        Parents are asked to place nametags on kindergarten and first grade students.  The nametag should be attached in a clearly visible fashion to the child's clothing rather than on backpacks or book bags.  The tag should include the child's name, address, bus number, bus stop location, and a telephone number where parents can be contacted at dismissal time.
