Transportation Updates

Here is information regarding Transportation rom WCPSS Transportation Department. We have been fortunate not to have very many delays with our buses in the afternoons. Parents: Go online first: Most parent questions can be addressed by visiting the transportation website at www.wcpss.net/transportation. Parents are encouraged to visit the Web to view routes, find their bus stops, report a concern, or request a stop if they do not have one. Parents and schools may also view Live Updates on the site for information on morning bus routes and possible schedule changes. Please note: Routes are updated regularly online. If you have provided parents with print-outs from the website, they may now be outdated. If a parent cannot locate a child in the afternoon, he or she should: · Call the school to verify that their child’s bus has departed the school and check whether it was delayed. · Be present at the stop, or verify with a neighbor or other parent that the bus arrived, and the child did NOT get off the bus. · If the child did not get off the bus, parents may call the school or transportation at (919) 805-3030 and follow the prompts to report a missing student. These calls will ring transportation staff until 6 p.m., after which they will be answered by after-hours security. In some cases, parents may also be asked to leave a voicemail on the emergency system. When a caller leaves a message on that system, staff members receive an immediate notification so they may begin researching to locate the child. I hope you find this information helpful. Mrs. Graf
