The information provided by the legal parent/guardian on the bus ridership form will be strictly adhered to.  Transportation changes must be made by a parent or legal guardian by 10:00 am and should not be left on school voicemail. If arrangements are not made by 10:00 am students will be transported as indicated on the bus ridership form. Visit Bus Ridership to make updates/changes to your current ridership.
