Transportation

• Current guidance from health officials limits ridership to maintain appropriate physical distancing.

• Buses will be cleaned after each route, before a new group of students is transported, in accordance with the guidance from health officials.

• We expect students to practice physical distancing at bus stops.  We are asking parents to help us in this effort.

• A limited number of students will be able to ride the bus due to physical distancing requirements

  • It will be necessary for significantly more parents to transport their students to and from school.  6th and 8th grade parent drop-offs will be up top in the new  parent drop-off loop.  7th grade parent drop-off will be in the lower lot on Berry since 7th graders are using the Athletic Entrance.  If you have students in multiple grades, use your best judgement.  Please be patient, as we anticipate more parent traffic than usual.

  • Students whose families qualify for free/reduced lunch will have priority for bus transportation.

  • Students who require special transportation per their individual Education Program (IEP) will be provided transportation with health measures in place.

• If your student is a bus rider, please review the information from Transportation and talk to your student about what is expected on the bus: Bus Transportation Expectations.

• These plans are to keep students safe and physically distanced as much as possible when they arrive and enter the school, and when they leave at the end of the day
