NEW POLICY CHANGE FOR AFTERSCHOOL TRANSPORTATION CHANGES
EFFECTIVE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2010
Afterschool Transportation Changes
We want to make certain that our students are safe and arrive at their afterschool destination. We encourage you to keep the same plans each day. Children rely on routine and become easily panicked if their plans are altered in any way. If at any time a student is to go home with someone other than the “usual transportation” (i.e., parent, relative, car pool), or they are to ride a different bus, the following procedures must be followed.
In order to make any change in plans for your student,
- You must send a note to school with the parent’s signature, student’s name, the address where they should ride the bus, or the person’s name that will be picking them up. The date of the change must be on the note.
- You may come in to the school and show I.D. and make the change with office personnel.
These are the only acceptable ways to change after school plans. We will no longer accept transportation changes over the phone. We cannot verify your identity and this poses a threat to our students. Your child’s safety is a top priority. This will be in effect starting Monday, February 22, 2010.
