• Bus Procedures and Code of Conduct

  Regular Riders Not Riding the Afternoon

  If you have a change to your afternoon plans and do not want your child to ride the bus, please contact your Division Administrative Assistant by phone by 12 p.m. on the day of the change. For PS-MS, please let the Administrative Assistant know if your child should be sent to carpool or after-school care. The Division Administrative Assistant will ensure that your child (grades 6-12) or their teacher (grades EL-5) is notified.

  
  Missing the Bus

  In the morning, the bus will leave promptly at the times stated. Please be on time.
  
  For afternoon bus pickup, Middle School and Upper School students should arrive promptly at the Lower School carpool circle. In the event that the student does not arrive on time to get on the afternoon (3:30) bus, the student may stay in after-school care until parents can pick the student up from school. Middle School and Upper School students should notify the Main Building Receptionist that they missed the bus.

  
  Parent Late at Pick-Up

  Please make every effort to arrive timely to pick your student up from the bus stop.
  
  Riders will not be left alone at a pick-up.
  Parents may complete a Parent Permission Authorization Form so that another designated adult can pick up a rider. If a parent or a designated adult is not at the drop-off location, riders will be retained on the bus and may be picked up at any subsequent stop.

  
  For the Afternoon (3:30) route, if the student has not been picked up after all stops are complete, the student will be returned to school and may be picked up at school.
