ZPass Plus
Safety is the top priority within our commitment to providing safe and efficient transportation to over
75,000 students every day. A crucial part of this service is knowing when and where each child gets on and off the school bus. ZPass allows parents to receive notifications when their child enters and exits the school bus.
How ZPass Works
Students place their ZPass Multipurpose Card in front of the card reader as they enter and exit the school bus.
The card reader emits an audible beep confirming the card was read.
The time, date and location of where the student gets on and off the bus are immediately recorded to a secure database, accessible only by transportation and school officials.
Parents can sign up for instant notifications, via push or cell phone text messaging and/or email.
Parents can sign up for notifications by going to https://www.zpassplus.com/. ZPass + app is available at Google Play and the App Store.
Badge replacement fees: $3.00 for bus badge and $1.00 for lanyard.
SPIRIT WEAR
Show your Labrador spirit every Friday by wearing a Labrador T-Shirt. New "Express Yourself Through Learning" themed shirts may be purchased for $10.
The order form can be printed and sent to school with payment with your child.

Character Rocks
October’s Core Value: Imagination: Using your imagination to do something unique. Creativity can be fostered. Parents, you can teach your child to be more creative. Encourage your child to read for pleasure and participate in the arts, provide unstructured, child-directed, imaginative playtime, and allow your child to explore ideas that interest them. Creativity is key to producing free-thinking problem-solvers.
