  3. Transportation • There is no blue transportation form this year. • Be sure to complete your online paperwork in ParentVue ASAP. • Tomorrow your child will receive a lanyard with a name tag. Please have your child wear this lanyard during the entire first week of school. • You will also see a green bus tag on your child’s backpack on the first week of school. Please keep it on the backpack all year. This communicates to transportation and school staff how your child rides to and from school.

  4. Transportation • If there is a change in transportation, you MUST send a note or call the school immediately. • We cannot place a child on a different bus or send home with anyone else without written notification. • This applies to ALL playdates!

  5. Attendance • Daily punctual attendance is important for school success. • Avoid the chaos of the car pool line by putting your child on the bus. • Students who are late due to the car pool line are marked tardy. • Children that ride a bus that arrives late are NEVER marked tardy.
