Transportation Reminder
For student safety, drivers should keep all students in grades Pre-Kindergarten – Second on the bus until a parent/guardian/or family member comes to the door to receive the student from the bus. This will help the driver become familiar with who should be getting the students as well as making sure that all the students are getting off the bus with a responsible party.
