Kindergarten and First Grade Ride Along will be Tuesday, July 31, 2018. K-1 students, along with their parents, are invited to ride the bus on Tuesday morning, July 31, 2018, as a practice run prior to the first day of school. The first day of school for students is Wednesday, August 1, 2018. Buses will run at regularly scheduled morning pick up times and parents/students should be at the bus stop at least 5 minutes early. Check the CCSD website for your bus route information. Due to limited space, we ask that you limit the number of additional family members riding. Only school-age children are allowed to ride as our regular buses are not equipped with car seats. The bus will follow the planned route to school, then return back to the bus stop.
Due to the extreme heat, water will be allowed on the buses during the months of August and September only. ALL students may bring water in containers with a screw on lid. If you have any questions, please contact the Transportation Department at 678/594-8000, or email your transportation area supervisor whose email can be found on the Transportation website.
Special note to parents of children 8 years old or younger: A yellow tag will be issued to your student. Please attach it to his/her book bag. This tag will assist transportation staff to quickly identify that your student is 8 years old or younger, which provides another safety net for proper delivery of your child. The yellow tag must remain on the top strap of your child’s bookbag and be visible to the driver at all times for the entire school year. For safety purposes, do not write or remove the tag.
2018-2019 CCSD bus routes for the new school year are available on the CCSD website. Bus runs and maps will be posted at the local school for review two weeks prior to the first day of school.
