Attention all bus rider parents/guardians!!
You may have seen these flyers come home with your child. PLEASE review the rules over the Christmas break, sign and have your child return it to the bus driver. Our bus drivers have the patience of saints but we can use all of the help and support we can get from the parents. Safety is our #1 concern so the less distractions for the driver, the safer the ride for everyone! As always, if you ever have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact Kris at 815-432-4931. Thank you!
Happy Holidays from the Transportation Department!
