New Unit 9 Transportation Guidelines
Unit 9 schools are continually looking at
procedures to keep our students safe. We recently reviewed our student
way home process. In doing so, we discovered that we needed to address
bussing and pick up and drop off procedures.
Our first goal is the safety of our
children, making sure students get to and from the right locations each
day. However, we are aware of the complexity of our families’ schedules
and are attempting to provide support when possible. Therefore we feel
that we can safely manage students who may need to be transported to
alternate locations on a consistent schedule. Examples would include
the following:
-
Riding bus 5 to Dad’s house on Tues/Thurs, but bus 11 to Mom’s
Mon/Wed/Fri
-
Riding to a daycare certain days, and riding home on other days.
In order to insure the safety of all
students we discourage phone calls or notes on the day that the student
will require a different way home. An example that we cannot
accommodate is students needing to ride to different locations on a
non-consistent basis.
If your child needs alternate
transportation, please follow these steps:
-
Make a request at least 24 hours in advance.
-
Place in writing (or email) to the building principal the alternate
transportation arrangements.
-
A request is complete when a confirmation is received from the
school office via email, note or phone call.
By following these steps, we can properly
assure that all involved will take the necessary steps that your child
is safe. |
