Your dedication, countless volunteer hours, and unwavering commitment make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students. From organizing events and fundraising efforts to providing classroom resources and advocating for educational excellence, your partnership plays a vital role in creating a nurturing and vibrant school community.

Thank you for being champions of our students and for standing with us in our mission to ensure every child receives the support and opportunities they need to thrive. We truly could not do this important work without you.

 The District’s Transportation Safety Plan can be found on the District’s website.  Buses will have active video monitoring enabled. The use of video monitoring will support the safety of students and drivers, prevent vandalism, and may be used to monitor student behavior.
 

Bus Pass Operating Procedures

For everyone's safety, our bus riders must display their assigned bus pass when riding the bus.
 
 Students are expected to have their bus passes with them daily and scan it each time they get on and off the bus. Students need to remember to not fold the card or punch holes in it to avoid damaging the encryption in the card. If the plastic pouch or the lanyard that holds the card wears out or is damaged, the student can ask their bus driver for a new one.

All bus passes will be returned on the last day of school to their bus driver.
 
 For specific information on bus schedules and bus routes, please contact the Transportation Office at (661) 252-3822.
