Reminders . . .

 MUST BE MET Parents/guardians are

responsible for the safe arrival and departure of their kindergarten student to/ from the bus stop as well as determining the designated adult who will be accompanying the kindergarten student to and from the bus stop.

 If changes have to be made to your child’s

contact information, parents must inform their child’s school and teacher.  If at any time during the school year your

child no longer requires transportation, advise your child’s school, who will in turn, notify HSTS. Your child’s name will be removed from the bus list.

 Kindergarten students who are riding the bus will

receive a tag from their school showing the afternoon bus route # and afternoon bus stop description. Your child’s school will distribute the tags to each transported kindergarten student at the beginning of the school year. The Identification tag (yellow with a smiley face) and strap should be attached to the back pack and visible to the driver. The tag will assist drivers in identifying kindergarten students when they are departing the bus.

Bus stop locations

are determined by HSTS and may be placed up to 800m from your home. Bus stops are centralized to service groups of students and may be placed at locations such as parks, walkways, corner locations or schools. In September, it may take 5 to 10 working days for a new bus stop to take effect .

Until HSTS is contacted by the school or parent, your child’s record will remain the same and they will not be reassigned to the bus (for the next school year as well).  Have your child’s 3 digit route number available in case

you have to contact the bus company.  For security reasons, parents/guardians must provide

their child’s OEN or temporary PIN# to HSTS staff when requesting their child’s transportation information. Keep the OEN handy!  Courtesy Seat Request Forms must be completed and
