This week, we practiced our bus safety drills. It is important to make sure that we are ready if there is an emergency. We reviewed the bus safety rules and practiced using the emergency exit at the back of the bus. They did an amazing job following directions!
If your child is a bus rider and you haven't returned your yellow bus safety contract, please be sure to do so ASAP!

2022 Transportation Reminders
Bus Reminders
Store belongings properly. Keep aisles free from books, book bags, hands, and feet. Do not put any objects outside the bus windows, including hands, feet, etc.
Be respectful and courteous. Use an inside voice, no loud talking or inappropriate language/gestures to your schoolmates, driver, or passing motorist. No food, drink, or gum.
Stay in your assigned seat. Only at your stop should you get up from your seat. Students are not allowed to switch seats during the operation of the bus or at any time without driver's permission.
All school rules apply on the bus and at the bus stop.
Carpool Reminders
Carpool students may not be dropped off before 7:40 a.m.
There is no supervision to ensure students' safety until 7:40 a.m. All morning staff begin their duty stations promptly at 7:40 a.m.
Morning Process:
Carpool students will be unloaded in the front main entrance breezeway at the front of the school each morning starting at 7:40 a.m. Students must be prepared to exit the passenger side of the car with all their school belongings ready for the day. Each day's preparation will ensure that we have a safe and efficient carpool.
At 8:00am the Tardy Bell will ring and all students will be considered tardy and must be walked up to the front office to check in! (ONCE THE TRADY SIGN IS PLACED IN THE MAIN ENTRANCE YOU WILL NEED TO PARK AND BRING YOUR CHILD UP TO SCHOOL TO CHECK IN!)
Afternoon Process:
Each Creekside family will be given a carpool number for you to place on your vehicle's dashboard or hang from the mirror each day during carpool.
If you arrive before 2:30 p.m., you need to stop when you see the Spirit Rock.
At 2:30, you can proceed to the first column at our front entrance.
It is important that students ALWAYS wait for an adult to assist with loading. Safety ALWAYS comes first!
When all carpool riders are loaded in your vehicle, please turn on your hazard lights; this will notify our staff that this round is ready to exit the carpool.
All carpool vehicles must EXIT from the Old Airport Road EXIT.
Daycare Van Reminders
