Transportation Policies and Procedures
In an effort to make this a pleasant and safe ride for your child, below are a few policies and procedures to follow for the 2011-2012 school year:

• Students should be outside awaiting the arrival of their bus 10 minutes prior to their schedule time. If your assigned stop is located in front of a home, you still must be out waiting. No driver, under any circumstances is allowed to blow horns or wait.
• No student should run after the bus or be inside homes, Students can fall and be seriously hurt, and there are blind spots all around buses where the driver cannot see a child.
• Parents or guardians should be awaiting the arrival of kindergarten and special needs students. Please allow for delays if weather conditions warrant.
• If for any reason a parent cannot be present to receive a kindergarten or special needs child, the school and the transportation department must be notified immediately as to who will be accepting the child. If no prior arrangement is made, the student will not be released to any unauthorized person and will be returned to the District Office to await pick up.
• Only the transportation office has the right to change or move stops. Bus drivers do not have the authorization.
• If your child is assigned a van and you will not need the bus please call (631) 345-9600 so the driver doesn’t have to go to the stop and wait.
• All children will learn the use of seatbelts, crossing procedures and school bus safety.
