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: 

bullet

Riding bus 5 to Dad’s house on Tues/Thurs, but bus 11 to Mom’s Mon/Wed/Fri

bullet

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:

bullet

Make a request at least 24 hours in advance.

bullet

Place in writing (or email) to the building principal the alternate transportation arrangements.

bullet

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.
