Important Notice to Parents and Guardians

For the safety of all students, each child has been assigned to their designated school bus. Students are not permitted to ride any other bus to go to a friend’s or family member’s home.

This policy is in place to ensure accountability and the well being of every student. Bus drivers are responsible for the students on their assigned routes, and it is critical that we maintain accurate ridership at all times.

We kindly ask that you talk with your child(ren) and remind them of this important rule. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in keeping all students safe.

Aviso Importante para padres y tutores

Para la seguridad de todos los estudiantes, cada niño ha sido asignado a su autobús escolar. No se permite que los estudiantes viajen en otro autobús para ir a casa de un amigo o familiar.

Esta política se implementa para garantizar la responsabilidad y el bienestar de todos los estudiantes. Los conductores de autobús son responsables de los estudiantes en sus rutas asignadas, y es fundamental que mantengamos un número preciso de pasajeros en todo momento.

Les pedimos que hablen con sus hijos y les recuerden esta importante regla. Gracias por su comprensión y cooperación para garantizar la seguridad de todos los estudiantes.
