Please notify the bus company by telephone at least one hour prior to the pick up time whenever your are not sending your child to school.

Please do not send even a mildly ill child to school because he/she may become acutely ill on the bus. In fairness to your child and other children, keep a sick child at home. Most doctors recommend that children be free of fever for at least 24 hours before sending them back to school.

If a child becomes ill at school, the parent will be asked to transport the child home.

After three (3) consecutive days of a student not riding the school bus, the bus service will be discontinued until the parent/guardian calls the bus company to restart the service.

If you drive your child to school, you will need to call the bus company to let them know he/she needs a ride home.

Medication - For safety purposes, medication must be placed in a plain, brown paper bag and handed directly to the bus driver by the parent and/or teacher and must not be placed among the child's personal belongings.

Personal Hygiene - For the comfort of the other persons on the bus, it is important to maintain adequate standards of hygiene. Please be sure to toilet children before they board the bus. If your child has a problem in this area, please be sure to supply the school with a change of clothes and a bag for transporting them in.

Emergency Medical Information - Please notify the school nurse and transportation office of any medical conditions (seizures, asthma, allergy to bee stings, etc.) your child may suffer from. Each school bus must be provided with an emergency medical information card, giving the driver basic instructions on what to do when faced with a medical emergency on the bus.
