DROP-OFF & PICK-UP IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Bus Riders
Many of you know that we implemented a new student tracking system for bus riders. By implementing this system with fidelity will help significantly with contact tracing as we enter the new school year. In addition, the system will let you know if a student is getting on a bus that is not assigned to the student and will provide parents with information regarding when the bus will be arriving at their bus stop.
During the school year, if a student loses their card or a new student registers, during the registration process if they are a bus rider, please send an email to bsdbuspass@bsd405.org to request a new card for the student. The card will be delivered to the student by the driver.
- NEW: We have changed our bus area and car area this year. Please refer to the map above for updates.
- NEW: Entrance and exit from the PLE parking lot will be right turn only. Please plan your route accordingly and/or consider walking to pick up your child or utilizing bus transportation if available.
- If you are using the designated pick up area, please remain in your car at all times, pull forward in order to keep the traffic flow moving, and follow the directives of staff members.
- If you choose to park your car, PARK ON THE STREET OR ONLY IN DESIGNATED PARKING SPACES. DO NOT PARK IN OR BLOCK THE FIRE LANE. DO NOT PARK IN NEIGHBOR DRIVEWAYS or other parked vehicles.
- The south staff parking lot is CLOSED before and after school. It will not be available for student drop-off/pick-up.
- We encourage you to have your child ride the bus or walk to school with a group of other children. You can also carpool with neighbors. Traffic around Phantom Lake is very congested during pick-up and drop-off times.
By following these guidelines and driving safely we will be keeping everyone safe! Thank you!
