🚍✨ Transportation Updates! ✨🚍
Bus stop signs will be going out later this week! Families, please take some time to practice walking to and from your student’s bus stop. Talk about nearby landmarks or recognizable features so your child knows where to get on and off the bus.
With our new Friday early dismissal schedule, now is the perfect time to plan your child's transportation home. If your student's Friday routine will be different than the rest of the week, please make those arrangements in advance and talk through the plan with your child so everyone knows what to expect. A little planning now will help ensure a safe and smooth end to every Friday!
Download the BusRight App from the Google Play or Apple App Store to track your child's bus in real time.
Approximate pick-up times and stops are listed below. Please be patient with our drivers the first few days of school as everyone gets used to the routes.
