Bus capacities are severely restricted this year due to social distancing requirements. Students must be seated three (3) or more feet apart on the school bus (one student per row in staggered fashion, if possible).
Students from the same family may sit together in one row.
All students riding the bus this school year will receive assigned seats.
Drivers will disinfect bus seats and common touch points in between each bus run.
Windows are to remain open to increase ventilation, as weather permits.
Students are to maintain social distancing of six (6) feet at the bus stop, and as they enter and exit the bus.
Students are required to wear face coverings while on the school bus and at the bus stop. [In alignment with the recommendations made by the American Academy of Pediatrics, students in Pre-K and classes with specialized populations may not be able to utilize masks/face coverings to the same extent as other classrooms (e.g. students that are unable to remove their mask due to physical disabilities, students whose psychological or emotional conditions would be adversely impacted, etc.). In those instances, employees must wear District-provided face shields in addition to masks/face coverings. All such exemptions will be approved by the Building Principal.]
Students who have a medical condition that does not allow for the wearing of a mask must provide medical document to the Building Principal and the Supervisor of Transportation, Mr. Bobby Clarke.
Students who become ill at school will not be permitted to ride the bus home from school.
