If my child misses the bus, will you come back to pick him/her up?
Students are required to be at their bus stops five minutes prior to their pick-up time. Buses are scheduled to arrive at a bus stop or residence and campus at predetermined times. The majority of our buses service multiple campuses; therefore it is important the buses do not deviate from their schedules. This ensures our level of service to all of our students across the District. If a child misses a bus, it is up to the parents to transport their child to school.
