Due to COVID-19, transportation has had to make a few changes to routes from previous years. Transportation will still operate for the school year of 2020-2021 but on a limited capacity. Due to the social distancing requirements on the buses, the routes will be pushed out to only transport the students living farthest from the school in the county.
We will have new rules and regulations for parents to read and sign for their students, most are the same but we have sent out a quick guideline for parents to know. School buses are hard to social distance on. We will have assign seating for all students, family members will have to seat together. All students are required to wear a mask please if possible we will not deny a child a ride but if you child is ill please keep them at home. Hand Sanitizer will be given to each student as they board and when they depart. The driver will disinfect the buses after each run.
We have widened the walking to school area. Please see this map and note that buses will not run within the red boundaries. Student who live within the radius of Sacket Street/ Scott Street to Holman Ave, and from Crestone Ave to Hwy 50 will be considered walking students. For the most part the routes will continue the same for pick up locations, but we may need to adjust as needed.
If you have small/ young students riding the bus we encourage all parents to please be at the bus stop to meet them. With the schedule of some buses and the time of year it is getting dark and we do not want to see a young student, walking down a road/some stops on the Highway, without a parent or guardian with them. If you do allow your student to be left off at the stop with our supervision please contact the driver or call me in my office so I can make the notation in the drivers book and speak with the driver that you have consented to have the student walk home without your supervision.
