Transportation/ Bus Information

The Thompson Public Schools transportation policy include some important concerns and rules:

ÿ All bus stops will be based on the students address unless I am notified on or before August 1^st (923-1053). Once a pick up and drop off point are made they will remain in effect for the year. If the bus arrangements require a permanent change, parents/guardians must notify the school in writing.

ÿ Preschool and Kindergarten students will not be dropped off unless a parent/adult/or child 16 years of age or older is visible to the driver. All persons responsible for the child will be listed on an emergency form at the school.

ÿ For MS and HS students there will be after school buses available for students involved in these programs.

ÿ MOST after school activities, recreation programs, boy scouts, girl scouts, birthday parties at a friend's home and dance programs will not be eligible for transportation. Students will need to go home or be picked up at the appropriate school by their parent.

ÿ Permanent day care (I will need to know these locations) and the library program will have transportation.

ÿ Telephone calls will be accepted in extreme emergencies for a different drop-off for that day. (The principal will determine the existence of an emergency.)

ÿ Bus transportation must be consistent from week to week. (I cannot work student transportation on parents swing shift needs. The children are our main concern and consistency is necessary for a safe travel year.)

Any questions of concerns, please call me at 1-860-923-1053. If I am not in leave a message, as I will get back to you as soon as possible.
