Answers
1)  Q When will the bus schedule be set?
A
The schedule is set after the New Student Registration is done in August. The schedule is then posted on the website, at all school buildings and at the Public Library. IT WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS. Bus stop information will be mailed to you - it will contain your bus number, time of pick up and drop off and location.
2)  Q Where will bus stops be placed?
A
Students will have "area" stops which means that all students will walk to the bus stop located nearest to their home. Because we have to transport more than 4,000 children every day, we must determine bus stops based on safety and efficiency.
3)  Q Why can't all children be picked up at their driveway? I want to see my child get on the bus.
A
Every stop requires additional tax money for gas, wages, wear and tear on the busses, etc.
4)  Q Yes, but I like for my child to wait inside the house until the bus comes.
A
Please have your child wait at the designated bus stop. We would like the ride to school to be as short as possible. (If 4,000 children were all to wait inside their houses, it would cause tremendous delays!)
5)  Q Why isn't the bus always on time?
A
The schedule is set as early as possible before school starts, but there may be variations during the first three weeks or so of school as the times for the routes become more firm.
6)  Q What about "Bus Notes?"
A
There are NO Bus Notes. Parents may sign up for ONE address schedule for morning pick up and ONE address schedule for afternoon drop off.
7)  Q Where are Request Forms located?
A
Bus Request forms are available in the School buildings or in the Document Manager area on the left.

It is the parent's responsibility to pick up and sign out the child if the parent desires a different destination for that child on a given day.
