“We look forward to transporting your most precious possession, your children,” Denice Herrmann, secretary for the Madison County Public Schools Transportation Department, told The Daily Progress.
Ahead of the school year, Hermann and Madison school division staff suggest parents:
Locate the road closest to their home address to determine the approximate time of arrival and the bus number their child will ride.Arrive at the bus stop five minutes before the scheduled arrival time.Stand at least 10 feet from the street.Wait at the bus stop, not inside the home. The bus driver is not obligated to wait.Do not retrieve the mail as children get off the bus. They are to go straight to the home.
If a child needs to ride a bus different than their assigned bus, a note must be sent to the attendance office at the child’s school. Without a note, the child will be directed to their regular bus.
Parents of younger children are required to be at the bus stop when the bus arrives. Bus drivers are trained to make this verification before they will let the student off. In the event nobody is visible, the child may be taken back to school.
On the first day of school, each student will receive a “Rules and Regulations” brochure. Attached to the brochure is an emergency contact form. This form needs to be returned to the bus driver no later than the third day of school.
Parents with questions regarding bus schedules, should contact the school division transportation office at (540) 948-3787.
The office urges all drivers to slow down and look out for school buses as the school year gets underway.
