Buses and Car Riders
- Bus Schedules are available on the county website, click here to go to this link
- A Daily Health Screening must be completed for each child before entering the bus
- Face coverings are required for students, please explain to your child that they must leave face covering on
- Students will be directed by drivers on where to sit to maintain social distancing, students from the same household will be asked to sit together, please explain to your children that they need to sit with their siblings, stay seated and follow the instructions of the driver.
- When buses arrive at school students are to remain seated and wait on the drivers to dismiss them from their seats so that social distancing can be maintained.
- Buses will be loaded back to front, however Pre-K students will still sit in front of bus as required by federal regulations.
- Pre-K parents must have a bus card to take Pre-K students off at the bus stop
- Reminder that all students in grades Pre-K to 3 must have supervision at the bus stop for pickup and drop off.
Car Riders
- Car Rider drop off will begin at 8:20 and last until 8:45
- Car Rider pick up will begin at 3:25 for families with Pre-K and K students and their siblings (time temporarily adjusted for expected increased traffic) and 3:35 for families with children only in Grades 1-5. Times may be adjusted in coming weeks as we move toward our traditional dismissal time of 3:40, this earlier dismissal is to insure that we are able to properly social distance students during dismissal.
- Car Rider numbers will be distributed to each household, please display these in your car window during pick up
*Please have a steady, consistent plan for your child's transportation home at the end of the day...changes must be made in writing by a note to the teacher that morning. Phone call changes will only be made for true family emergencies...last minute changes cause students unnecessary stress as they are usually unsure about why a change was made. No phone changes will be accepted after 3:00.
All Meals (Breakfast and Lunch) are Free
Lunch menus are available on the school website or by clicking here
