Riding our buses on September 6th?
Reminders for the first 2 weeks of School:
What can students and parents expect to see in the first two weeks of a new school year?
With the start of a new school year comes new routes and bus stop location changes for the drivers and students. We are all learning a new routine. In the first two weeks of a new school year, this process moves at a slower pace as we all learn the new routine. Parents take pictures and want to speak to the driver. Additional traffic volumes at the schools all cause delays during this period. We try to keep pickup and drop-off within a 5-minute window as much as possible.
During the first two weeks, the Transportation Office staff is busy adding new students and updating student information. Both of these changes cause additional stops to be added or removed from the school bus runs, which may alter stop times slightly.
The office staff is constantly working with the drivers to enable all the students to arrive at school on time. Bus runs will be moved to make the changes necessary to accomplish this goal of on-time delivery to all of the schools to that we provide service. After the first two weeks, this usually has been accomplished.
In addition, many school districts are trying to manage a shortage of bus drivers. We have been very fortunate to hire additional drivers this year and they are learning the routines of all students.
Thank you for your patience as we begin a new school year!
Back to School Forms
All of the back-to-school paperwork is online in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. You can now start to complete these back-to-school forms.
We ask you to pay particular attention to the Emergency Contact form and ensure that your information is accurate. If you did not complete this form last year, please be sure to finish it this year (and each year moving forward).
Our families must update their contact information allowing our teachers and staff to contact you. The contact data is what the District will be using as of October. To be sure you continue to receive accurate communication from Haverford, you must verify the information.
Click on PowerSchool on our Technology Department webpage for information about using the portal and completing forms. There is also a Youtube video they created walking you through the process.
If you do not have access to a computer, you can request paper copies from your building secretary.
Food Services - Welcome to the 2022-23 School Year
Each student has a meal account accessible to them through their student ID number. Students will need to enter their PIN number for all meal and snack purchases at lunch. Please help your child learn their student ID number. Please see the attached instruction letter and picture of the PIN Pad they can use to practice entering their number.
