Transportation Changes

• Parents should notify teachers at the beginning of the year whether their child will be a bus rider, car rider or walker.
  
  

• When changes to the regular mode of transportation are needed, the school must receive a written statement from parents indicating the specific dates and revised means of transportation.
  
  

• If a student regularly rides a particular bus home, he or she will not be allowed to ride a different bus without a written note from parents.
  
  

• A note is also required when students who are normally walker or car riders take the bus home with a friend.
  
  

• We encourage you to maintain a regular transportation schedule as much as possible, as frequent changes in transportation can be confusing to students and result in missed rides/safety concerns at dismissal time.
  
  

• For the safety of your child, no transportation changes can be made by a phone call or e-mail. Faxes are accepted: (706)854-5837.
  
  

• If you have questions or concerns about bus discipline, pick-up and drop-off or bus routes, please contact the school, or the transportation department at 706-541-2729.
  
  

Please be aware that all transportation changes must be sent in writing--we are not allowed to accept changes by phone or email.  If you are checking a student out for an appointment, please make every attempt to arrive before 3:30 so that we can call your child from class before our busy dismissal procedures begin.  You may NOT pick your child up from the front lobby during dismissal.
