Dear Parents and Guardians:
Welcome to the new school year. Please read this letter thoroughly as it contains information you will need during the school year.
School bus routes can be found on the district web site at
www.ccsdre1.org. On the main page, under "Quick Links" select "Bus Schedule." You can also contact the Transportation Department at 303-567-3865 or 303-746-8139 as well as your child's school.
Please always be at the bus stop at least FIVE MINUTES early morning and afternoon. The bus cannot wait for students who are late. Please do not chase after a bus, as this is a serious safety concern. Buses will not stop until the next scheduled bus stop.
If you are going to be late to pick up your student from the bus stop, please call the Transportation Department at 303-567-3865 so that we can inform the bus driver and make alternative plans.
Below is the permission to ride form. If we do not have a signed permission slip letting your child walk home ALONE from the bus stop, we will not be able to let your child off unless a parent or guardian is present. If someone other than the parent or guardian is going to be getting your child from the bus stop please send a signed note for the bus driver. WE NEED A SIGNED PERMISSION SLIP EACH YEAR.
If your child needs to ride a different bus or get off at different stop, you will need to call your school or the Transportation Department. We will not be able to let students get on different buses or off at different stops without a signed note or phone call.
Our school bus surveillance cameras are on every bus, including activity buses. They are operational at all times. Students and parents are financially responsible for any damages done to the bus.
Please read the attached SCHOOL BUS RULES and go over them with your child or children.
We look forward to a GREAT new school year transporting your children. If you have any questions or need anything else please feel free to call me anytime. THANK YOU AND LET'S ALL HAVE A GREAT YEAR.
