Bus Expectations
Just a quick reminder that students are assigned to a bus based on where they live and students currently have assigned seats. Due to our current protocols and mitigation plan, we are not allowing students to ride an alternative bus.
Students who plan to travel with a friend will need to make alternative transportation plans (i.e. walk home, bike home, picked up by a parent/guardian, etc.)
Please call our office if you have any questions.
