Bussing and Transportation
Families with children on the school bus are asked to download the MyBusStop app. Directions are provided in the attachment below. The MyBusStop app provides live updates on bussing information, including scheduled arriving and departure times, and including delays
Trips Within Walking Distance
The CBE no longer requires parents/guardians to fill out a consent form for children to go on a class trip that is walking distance from the school and where walking is the sole method of transportation so long as the students will not be participating in a restricted activity as part of the trip (e.g. skating, swimming, etc.). Instead, teachers will send a parent letter outlining local sites and what potential risks may prior to each walking field trip.
Have a great weekend!
