New Transportation Change Policy

Effective December 15th, 2025, all requests for a change in your student's usual afternoon transportation (such as an emergency pick-up or switching to a car rider) must be received by the school office no later than 1:30 PM on the day of the change.

1:30 PM Notification: If we do not receive notification before 1:30 PM, we may not be able to safely accommodate the request.

Safety Rationale: Knowing precisely where our students are designated for transportation (bus, car, walker) is a high priority for afternoon dismissal coordination. A firm deadline allows us the critical time needed to communicate changes accurately to teachers, bus drivers, and dismissal staff.

Emergency Protocol

We understand that genuine emergencies and unforeseen circumstances happen. If a change is absolutely necessary after the 1:30 PM deadline due to a significant, unavoidable emergency, please call the school office immediately. The office staff will connect you directly with one of our School Administrators who will then coordinate with you to try and find an appropriate solution. Please understand that after the 1:30 PM deadline, solutions may be limited.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
