Transportation Safety Protocols

The safety of our students as they travel to and from school on the school bus is a top priority of our Transportation Department. Following the protocols set in place for riding the bus is a critical factor in maintaining a safe traveling environment. Students and staff are required to wear a mask on the bus.
