BUS

The bus schedules are available the last working day for the office staff prior to the first day of school in the fall.  This schedule is posted outside the main entrance of the school.  During the school year, the schedule may be obtained from the school office.

Many of our children ride a bus each day or will have an opportunity to ride the bus some time during the school year.  The following basic rules and suggestions are designed to help provide the safest means of transportation.

During bad weather when school is in session, children will be admitted to the building upon arrival.  A sign will be posted in the front windows.

Children are expected to display appropriate behavior at their respective bus stops, waiting patiently and quietly at all times.
