By providing a well-trained staff and well-maintained equipment, we are able to form strong partnerships with every school, parent and student we serve. In order to ensure a future of continued successful bus travel, it is important to review the information on this site. Also, take time to discuss this information with your child, emphasizing the relationship between good conduct and safety. Your assistance and cooperation is crucial in order to maintain timely and reliable transportation service. By becoming familiar with and adhering to the rules and information, you will help ensure that your student is provided a safe and pleasant ride to and from school.
