When it is necessary to send buses to take students home early, we will notify parents.
Every attempt is made to ensure that students have somewhere safe to go when they get
off the bus. If drivers are concerned for your child’s safety, they will take your
child to a place of shelter, such as the bus depot, school or other supervised public
building until arrangements can be made for acceptable transportation. Parents should
discuss emergency procedures with their children and the school.
