Helpful Tips

  • We suggest that you and your child pre-plan the way to and from the bus stop together.

  • Discuss with your child an alternative plan of transportation to school if the school bus is missed.

  • Instruct your child NOT to chase the bus! Stay out of the DANGER ZONE (10 feet from around the bus)
