Van Expectations and Notification

The driver is in charge and responsible for safely transporting students to and from home and school. Students are expected to display Core Value behavior. To help encourage positive behavior, students may earn green slips by conducting themselves in a manner that goes above and beyond our Core Value expectations.

PRIOR TO PICK UP

  1. When the van arrives for pick up, the student should be ready, listening, and watching for the van to arrive.
  2. There is a 10-minute window before and after scheduled pick up time.
  3. The van driver will wait three minutes past the arrival time. After three minutes, the van driver will call the school. School personnel will then attempt to contact the residence to confirm the student’s attendance. The driver will respond accordingly. Students who are not ready when the van arrives could earn a pink slip.
