This Week's Attendance Review of Procedures [BUS NOTES]
 
In the event that a student needs a bus note:
  • Upon arrival to school, the student should deposit a note in the box outside of 215C.  This note must contain the student first and last name printed, the number of the bus they need to ride, the name of the person with whom they will be riding, the address where they will be dropped off, and a legible parent/guardian signature.  Failure to include this information will result in the note not being processed.
  • A bus note will be delivered to the student in class no later than 5th period.  If they have not received a bus note by the end of 5th period, they should come to room 215C to check on the status of their note.
  • This note should be presented to the bus driver upon entering the bus.
THE PRACTICE ACT WILL BE  ON 11.2
