Please remember!  Route times may vary significantly during the first two weeks of school until all students have registered and adjustments are made due to traffic, construction and final count of students.  During the first two weeks of school, students should arrive at the designated bus stop 10 minutes prior to the scheduled pick up time.  After the first two weeks of school, students should arrive at the bus stop five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled pick up time.

Motorists, please drive with caution near bus stops and be prepared to stop.  Remember, passing a stopped school bus with red flashing lights is against the law!

Students’ personal articles and belongings shall be placed in a manner that will not block aisles or emergency exits or endanger other riders.  Large items that will not fit under the seat, cannot be carried in the student’s backpack, or cannot sit on the student’s lap, will not be transported.  It will be the parent’s responsibility to transport these items to or from school.

 Requests for route changes shall be submitted to the Transportation office via email or online options with 1 week advance of the requested change.  Please do not request bus drivers to deviate from the scheduled route. Bus drivers cannot make unauthorized stops or make changes to routes.
