Dear Parents and Guardians,

We would like to provide some important clarification regarding daily bus schedules and end-of-day transportation procedures.

Our Transportation Department is a very fluid operation and is constantly adjusting to changing conditions. While we make every effort to send notifications and communication blasts, there are times when last-minute changes occur and messages are not always able to be sent in real time.

These situations may include, but are not limited to:

• A bus failing a required pre-trip inspection and being deemed unsafe to operate

• Drivers calling out at the last minute, requiring immediate coverage

• Last-minute athletic events requiring transportation

• Field trips returning late, which may delay afternoon pickup times

When situations like these occur, buses may be delayed or temporarily unable to depart until safe equipment and appropriate staffing are secured. Student safety always comes first.

Please know that communication does take place on campus. End-of-day announcements are made to inform students which buses are on time, delayed, or not yet in the lineup. In addition, staff members are present in the bus loop every afternoon to assist students in locating their buses and answering questions.

Students are provided sufficient time during dismissal to reach their assigned buses, and multiple layers of support are in place to ensure they know where to go before buses depart. For this reason, students should not miss their bus due to confusion or lack of information.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we manage daily operational changes while ensuring that all buses operate safely and are properly staffed.

Thank you for your continued support.
