Parents,

Does your child ride the We Go bus? Do they have a bus pass (student ID)? If you are not sure if your child has their bus pass (student ID), please check with them.

Starting March 1st, if your child does not have their bus pass (student ID) to ride the We Go bus, they will not be allowed to ride unless they can pay for their ride. There is a $2.00 daily pass. There is also a $1.00 one way pass. If you need to order a bus pass (student ID), please see Mrs. Spielberg or Ms. Vasser in the guidance office to replace your bus pass (student ID). Please know there is a $15.00 fee to replace a lost student bus pass (student ID). It also takes several days for the order to be processed and sent to the school.

If you do not have your bus pass (student ID), please be prepared to pay to ride the We Go bus starting March 1st. In addition, please know there will be no exceptions for a student to ride the bus.

Thank you.
