 What If My Child's Daily Bus Route Is Late Arriving Home?

I Left An Item On The Bus - How Do I Get It Back?

If a personal item was mistakenly left behind on the bus, the Area Bus Supervisor for that particular bus will be contacted and arrangements will be made for the safe recovery of the item.

What If Our Field Trip Bus Is Late Arriving?

There are various reasons why our buses will occasionally run behind schedule, from traffic congestion to an unforeseen breakdown.  In the event of a situation such as these, please contact Dispatch and we will immediately inform the school administrator of the estimated time of arrival.  All attempts will be made to secure another suitable bus as quickly as possible.
