Bus Notes~
Bus notes: a signed parent note is required for your student
anytime they are riding a different bus home. Please make sure the note includes the following:

• Your student’s name/Address of where they will be going to

• Bus number they will be riding/Parent signature

The student brings the note into the office before school to have it stamped and initialed and then gives it to the bus driver when they board the bus. Some buses are at capacity. Office staff will confirm with transportation that there is room. If the bus is full, the bus note will not be approved.

Please be advised that bus notes will not be taken over the phone.
