Transportation Changes

At the beginning of the school year, parents reported to teachers how each student will arrive and depart from school everyday.  Teachers and Administrators rely on this information to be accurate to ensure students are accounted for, and updated with changes as needed.  Now that our After School Enrichment programs are beginning, we are noticing many children whose transportation arrangements have changed, without being communicated to the teachers.  The time-consuming process of verifying changes with parents during dismissal affects everyone when it delays bus departures or slows down the car-rider line.

Please review page 3 of the RTE Student Handbook, which states "Changes in transportation (ie. how your child is going home in the afternoon) can only be accepted by handwritten note. Leaving a voice mail message or emailing a message to any teacher/ employee is not an option."  Please send teachers a note for each and every day your child will not be departing from school in their usual manner.  If you have questions about this school procedure, please call Clarissa Bennett (RTE Transportation Contact) at 691-8676 ext 3020.  Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring our students' safe travels from school!
