Dear Parents /Guardians,As you are aware, the safety of your children, our students, is
of the utmost importance to us and this includes safe transportation to and

of alternate bus passes are being issued. Young students are often unsure where
they are supposed to go and many may be unfamiliar to bus drivers. You have already provided the school with one alternate bus
