To avoid confusion or the
possibility of mis-placing a student; transporting
to a different location other than the regular stop
is kept at a minimum. However, it can be done
provided the transportation department receives from
the parent/guardian a signed memo making the
request. the memo should include the duration of the
change and a contact phone number. The
transportation department will not recognize any
memo brought in by the students. |
