The purpose of the inclement weather route is to allow the student to remain in the protection of their home until they see the school bus approaching their bus stop.  As soon as the student sees the school bus, the student should immediately leave their home and walk quickly to their inclement weather bus stop (end of their driveway, middle of the block, etc.) so the driver can see them. Our drivers have no way of knowing which students will be attending school on any particular day, therefore it is imperative that the students are at or moving to the bus stop when they see the bus.  The driver must see them.  The bus will not stop at every home.  Please assist us in reducing our students’ exposure to the cold weather. It is expected to be extremely cold tomorrow, so for safety purposes, please make sure your student dresses warmly.
