Bus Transportation

minutes behind schedule. Please make sure CPS has your correct phone numbers by
keeping the School office updated, or you may list up to 3 phone numbers (home, work &
cell) in PowerSchool.

Street Crossing Safety




Students must cross the street at the crosswalks.
If you bring your child or pick him/her up, do not cross between parked cars or
outside the crosswalk. This sends a message that it is okay to cross anywhere.
Do not call your child to cross in the street as other students will see this and do
likewise.
Parents, please set a good, safe and legal example.
