TRANSPORTATION and DISMISSAL
Bus stops shall be at the same location 5 days a week.
All students will be discharged at their appropriate bus stop at the end of the day. Bus drivers are responsible for students from the time they enter the bus until they exit the bus. When the regular or substitute bus driver is sure that it is the student’s assigned bus stop, then the student may be discharged. When the regular or substitute bus driver is not sure whether the stop is the correct bus stop or is concerned for the safety of the student for any reason, the driver shall complete the route and then return the student to school. When the driver makes the decision to return a student to school, the Office of Transportation must be called immediately.
CHANGE IN DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
To ensure a safe, organized, and consistent dismissal for all students, all changes to a student’s regular dismissal plan must be communicated to the school no later than 3:30PM.
After 3:30 PM dismissal changes will not be accepted except in case of an emergency. This allows staff adequate time to communicate changes that ensure every student is dismissed safely to the correct location or adult.
Families are encouraged to establish consistent dismissal routines. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and orderly dismissal process.
