Transportation route information will be available online (https://district.d303.org/tools/bus-routes) beginning Thursday, Aug 5th. This routing information will include the pickup/drop-off location and time.

District 303 is pleased to offer VersaTrans e-Link as a tool for viewing the latest bus route information for students.

Parents may log into e-Link using their student's ID number. For your initial login, you will enter your student's ID for both the Username and Password.

Don't know your student's ID#? Before you call the office, Log into your (HAC) Home Access Center to find their ID#.

Of course, if you are still stuck, please call the Anderson Office (331) 228-3300.

Transportation route information will NOT be sent home through the mail and can only be accessed online. Please note that for the first two weeks of the school year, the district will not make adjustments to the transportation routes. Our transportation department will collect suggestions about the routes and will make adjustments where necessary after the first two weeks of classes.

If your child will be a "Car Rider" home each day, please fill out the form below. If you have any questions please call the Anderson School Office (331) 228-3300.

Note: If you student is eligible for busing transportation, we will assume they are riding the bus home every day unless you fill out this form to let us know you will be picking them up. Thanks!

Arrival time window: 7:45-8:00

If you are driving your child to school, simply drive up to the front of the school and pull all the way forward. This allows more cars to line up behind you and minimize any backup onto the street. Students need to exit the right side of the car and step up onto the curb. An Anderson Teacher will greet them and welcome them to school. If you arrive after 8:00 AM you are expected to park your car, walk your child to the front door and sign them in. Please do not drop off after 8:00 AM without coming to the office to check in your child.

We make it a point at Anderson to make sure that every child is greeted with a smile and a positive welcome at least 3 times before they even get to their teacher. That is one way we make sure every child feels welcome and safe.

At 3:00 PM we begin our dismissal process.

Car Riders are dismissed from their classroom and walk to the front of the school. Students should safely spread out along the full front sidewalk to watch for their parent/guardian's car. We have multiple teachers stationed in the front to help assist and make sure students are safely entering their cars. If you choose to, you can park your car and use the crosswalk to meet your children.

Students riding a bus home are dismissed by grade level and make their way to their assigned bus and assigned bus seat. We have Anderson teachers stationed to supervise and make sure all students are getting on the correct bus. All busses are numbered along with a colorful animal for our younger students to help them remember their bus. (Don't worry, we personally walk all younger students to their assigned bus.

All school lunches are free this year. Students simply order lunch with their teacher each morning. Students can also request a free breakfast bag each day that they can take home at the end of the day for the following morning.
