Message Regarding the Start of School
The Transportation Dept. is reminding everyone to please be very patient the first couple weeks of school. Due to heavier than normal traffic and the beginning of school procedures, please expect some delays for the first couple weeks. The Transportation Dept. will be making daily adjustments to help improve the timing of routes. Please have your child at their bus stop at least 5-8 minutes prior so we can make sure your child is picked up.  

Bus Passes must be purchased in order for your child(ren) to ride the bus. If the pass has been purchased, but your child has not received it yet, they will be able to ride the bus. Your child will need to carry their bus pass at all times in order to ride the bus but there will be a grace period for the first week. We will be answering phones at the department as quickly as possible so we ask for your patience as we work to get back to everyone.
