Kindergarten Students
In addition to the above responsibilities, the following procedures have been established in order to provide for the safe and orderly transportation of students who may have a difficult time communicating information, or making appropriate personal safety decisions. Parents/guardians of these students will:
- Have the student at their stop at least 15 minutes before the bus arrival time.
- Though every effort is made to pick up and/or deliver at each home, there are private drives and cul-de-sac streets that we do not enter. A bus stop will be established at the entrance of such areas.
- Be present and visible to the driver when the bus arrives at the student's stop. If not present, the student will be returned to school.
- Notify the school office promptly of any address or phone number changes.
- Affix an information tag to the student's book bag with student name and bus information.
- Label all outerwear for easy return.
