BUSSING
To set up bussing or make changes to bussing, requests should be submitted via email to Kristin Harvey, Transportation Director, at [email protected].
School bus riders, while in transit, are under the jurisdiction of the school bus driver. The bus driver must devote 100% of his/her attention to driving the bus and therefore should not be distracted by the improper conduct of students riding the bus. The bus misconduct point system ensures that students conform to the transportation and school rules and policies. The Code of Conduct and Misconduct Point System can be found in the Student Handbook.

If a child is eating breakfast at school, he/she should arrive by 8:00am.
