TIPS for PARENTS and GUARDIANS

Before the school year begins, you and your child should visit the assigned bus stop together:
Be sure your child knows the safest way to the exact location where the bus will stop.
Be at the bus stop at least five minutes early on the first day.
You and your child should become familiar with your bus driver, but be aware that a different driver may substitute when needed.
Keep bus company phone numbers handy in case the bus is delayed or in the event of an emergency.
- Use the School Age Bus Company Directory to find a bus company phone number if your child is in kindergarten through sixth grade.
- Use the Pre-K Bus Company Directory to find a bus company phone number if your child is in pre-K.
You can check to see if a bus company has posted any information on our Web site about school bus delays for your child's route.
Remember to help your child learn and practice the safety rules. Go over safety tips with your child regularly.
