Preliminary Stops & Times

This information is preliminary (Stops won’t likely

won’t change, but times could) Confirmation letter will arrive in August with times

and stop, based on your home address Parents can request a change to an EXISTING stop,

if it is more convenient (i.e. caretaking needs) Some students were not designated a stop as it

would be easier to drop off at the school We do encourage all students to ride the bus, but

if parents are dropping off, no cars are allowed in driveway until all buses have left school property
