Modifications to bus operations will occur and enhanced cleaning practices will support bus safety. We expect some of our families to choose a remote learning option or to transport their children in a personal vehicle. Henry County Schools is expecting reduced ridership on our buses. This will help support responsible distancing of bus riders.
Please Note: Before putting your child on the bus each morning, please assess how they are feeling and if they have a fever. Please do not send your child to school if they are sick and/or running a fever. We also ask that you not send your child to school under medication that treats the symptoms of a fever.
Bus Transportation Modifications:
• Reduced ridership expected and responsible distancing strongly encouraged.
• Routes maintained with modified bus processes including loading and unloading.
• Students and bus drivers will be required to wear face coverings/masks while being transported on the bus due to not being able to maintain responsible distancing.
• High-touch areas cleansed after each completed route.
• Lowering windows and allowing fresh air in during routes as weather permits.
• Students will be asked to keep their hands to themselves and face forward throughout the trip to school and home.
• No field trips permitted.
