Each bus driver has a designated time to start his/her route.  Due to traffic and other issues, bus pick-up times are not exact.  Your student must be at the bus stop at least 10 minutes before his/her "normal" pick-up time.  Students should be ready to board the bus when it arrives. Any delays might make an entire bus late. Students must wait for the bus to come to a complete stop, the door opens and the bus driver has motioned for the student to board the bus. Please note that actual bus arrival times will vary during the first few weeks of school. We ask parents to be patient as bus routes are established. Also, unexpected traffic congestion or bus mechanical breakdowns could also cause delays in arrival times. If your child’s bus is considerably delayed, please contact the Transportation Department at 501-796-8160.
