►Transportation Department changes bus routes for better efficiency
In an effort to help save on fuel costs and more efficiently pick up and drop off students from school, the Transportation Department has made changes to some of this year's bus routes. Students whose bus routes are changing will receive a postcard in the mail detailing the new route. Parents and guardians are encouraged to view the new bus routes here and read them carefully for any changes. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Transportation Department at 872-1126.

General Bus Safety Rules

• Students must cross at least 10 feet in front of the bus.

• Never cross behind the bus.

• When exiting the bus, students should check to the right and left before stepping off the bus. Students are to then move away from the bus. They should not go to the mailbox or anywhere else by the side of the bus.

• Students should look left-right-left before crossing the road.

• If the driver blows the horn, the student is to return immediately to the side of the road from which he or she started.

• Instruct your child that if they drop something outside of the bus to leave it where it falls.

• They should only attempt to retrieve the object with the driver or another adult’s supervision, when the bus has gone and the road is clear.

• Children should wait a safe distance away from the road because in inclement weather, vehicles may slide on slippery roads.
