Early dismissals
Scheduled early dismissal dates and times may be found in the
district calendar,
within individual school newsletters and often on school lunch menus. If you
need to make alternate arrangements for your child's drop-off locations on
these days, please do so in advance through your child's individual school.
Stay
informed about early dismissals resulting from inclement weather
What to do if the bus is late
A past district study indicated that most buses are late for five reasons:
• Traffic delays
• Weather delays/road conditions
• Delays caused by waiting for children
• Delays caused by substitute drivers unfamiliar with a route
• Delays caused by mechanical problems
Please do not call the Transportation Office unless the
bus is more than 10 minutes late.
In order to shorten transportation time for students and make sure buses
keep on schedule, students should wait outside at the bus stop five minutes
before their bus is supposed to arrive. A one-minute delay at 20 stops adds
20 minutes onto a bus ride!
Note: In order to stay on schedule, drivers CANNOT return to pick up
students who have missed their bus.
