BUSING
IF YOUR CHILD RIDES A BUS
For those of you who have busing, staff members will meet children at the bus
when they arrive at school and bring them to the bus at the end of each school day.
Parents or daycare providers are responsible for walking children to the bus
when they leave home and meeting the bus when children arrive home. Please
be ready for the bus five minutes before the scheduled time.
CHANGES IN BUSING
If an address changes (due to a move or new daycare) during the school year,
your child’s teacher should be notified. The teacher will let the school office
and transportation department know of the change. Please allow at least five
business days for a new schedule. Changes that are requested in August and
September may take longer than 5 days.
CANCELLING THE BUS
If your child will be absent from school, or will not need transportation that
day, please contact transportation to let them know you will not need busing.
Call 651-621-1980.
TRANSPORTATION DROP OFF
For children who attend morning early childhood sessions being dropped off
at mid-day:
When a parent is not at home to meet their child’s bus at mid-day, your child
will be returned by the bus to the site of attendance and late fees will apply.
For children who attend afternoon early childhood sessions being dropped off
at the end of school day:
When a parent is not at home to meet their child’s bus at the end of the school
day, the driver will drop off all other children on the bus and make a second
attempt to drop off your child. If no one is home at the second attempt, your
child will be delivered to Weaver Adventure Connection, Weaver Elementary
School, 2135 Birmingham Street, Maplewood, MN, 651-748-7098. Transportation
staff will continue to try to contact parents. If parents have not picked up their
child by 5:45 PM (closing time) the police department will be called. If a child has
medical conditions that warrant immediate action, Adventure Connection staff
may call the police department at any time. Fees will be charged for the time
children are at Adventure Connection.
