P.E.
Please take note of what day your child has P.E. this year.
They will need to wear tennis shoes and athletic clothing on their assigned day, and also every FRIDAY!
If your child does not want to wear shoes on these days, be sure that they are keeping a pair of tennis shoes in their locker at all times.
Thank you!
TRANSPORTATION NEWS
Welcome to another great year with Franklin Township Community School Corporation! You will find bus stop location and time at the FTCSC Transportation website – www.ftcsc.k12.in.us/transportation. In the black box in the middle of the page there is a tab for Bus Route Information, there will be a link to the routing software. Click on the link https://vtweb.tyler.com/FRANKLINTOWNSHIP/elinkrp/search.aspx . The select the student grade, enter the address and click on “Find school/Transportation. You will be able to check your student’s bus number, bus stop location and pick up/drop off times. We recommend checking the website for changes the night before school begins. Please keep in mind that these times are still subject to change even after school starts, due to changing enrollment.
There are a few items pertinent to the success of your child riding a FTCSC school bus. First and foremost is to be at the designated bus stop 10 minutes prior to the scheduled bus stop times. Please recognize the bus drivers may be a few minutes late as we start back to school. Learning the routes and traffic patterns can delay route times. Your child can expect to be assigned to a specific seat that is subject to changes as needed. These issues can delay your students’ afternoon arrival times until the routine is established.
FTCSC’s goal is to provide a safe and secure experience for our students. In order to do this, we need to ensure that all students will be picked up and dropped off at a consistent location. If your child will not be needing the bus service for the 2018-2019 school year, please send us an email at transportation transportation@FTCSC.k12.in.us with the name and grade of your student. This allows FTCSC to maximize bus capacity and routing efficiencies. Also, we do not offer bus passes. Please do not send notes to the school, give notes to the drivers, or contact the transportation office with requested changes to pick ups or drop offs. If you have a permanent change to your pick-up and drop-off location please complete the Alt. AM/PM Transportation Pick- Up/Drop-Off form located on the Transportation Webpage. This form must be filled out each school year. Forms require 5 days to process; those received after July 25th will not be processed by the first day of school. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Car Rider Procedures
Important Reminders
*If you plan on picking your child up from school instead of riding the bus anytime this school year, you will need a car rider number. You must come into the front office to fill out an application.
*We do not dismiss students from the front office. All parents must wait in the car rider line to pick up their student at dismissal if they are not riding the bus.
*Please make sure your student knows their car rider number!
*Once parked in lane 1 and 2, please exit the car with your number and go to the sidewalk to greet your child.
*It is very important that proper procedures be followed to ensure that all children make it safely home everyday.
*If you child needs to leave early please pick them up by 3:15 to avoid disrupting our dismissal procedures.
