When the School Bus is Late

Bus route pick-up and drop-off times are approximate and may be affected by any one or more of the following conditions: traffic, weather and road conditions, construction, changes in routes, ridership, etc.

When a bus is late due to an unforeseen circumstance, a notification is sent via email as soon as possible. Unfortunately, transportation is not always able to notify parents/guardians when a bus is caught in traffic or slowed due to weather conditions.  
 
Contact will be made to parents/guardians if their child’s bus is involved in an accident.*  Please be sure your contact information and notification preferences are up-to-date and you have talked to your child about what to do in case of an emergency.

*Because of New York State no-fault insurance laws, any injury a child incurs during a school bus incident or accident must be claimed on your automobile insurance, not the School District's insurance.
