It is important that your child is aware of how to ride the bus. Please be sure to go over these tips for bus safety with them.
For our youngest riders, the 吃瓜黑料网 offers the Purple=Parent program. Placing a purple band on your child鈥檚 backpack assists the driver in identifying students that are not to be left at a drop-off stop without being met by a designated parent or caregiver. Parents may opt out of this program.
