BB4C is an amazing program for 4-year-old children to learn how to ride a bus and go to school.

 Our goal each year is to respect each and every one of your schedules by arriving on time each day within just a few minutes. We can only do this with your help. We have very minimal time to wait at each stop, so please have your child ready to get on the school bus,  other parents after you will appreciate this as well. During drop off times, there are times when other children will get picked up from school by there parents so it may adjust the time schedule. We are not allowed to let your child off the bus without an adult present. You may wave from the window or from the door etc. just as long as we can see you. If no one is visible during drop off your child will stay on the bus through the remainder of the route and will be taken back to their site. If you make any transportation changes throughout the school year it may or could take up to two weeks to make the changes.
