Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we approach the close of our second full week of school since December, I want to take a moment to address two important topics: student behavior on the school bus and the submission of transportation notes.
I have received a significant increase in student misconduct reports regarding behavior on the bus. It is essential to remind our students that the same rules that apply in the classroom also apply on the school bus, as it is still considered school property. I ask for your assistance in reinforcing positive behavior with your child to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all students during their bus ride.
Transportation Notes:
1. Deadlines & Written Requests:
Any time a student's transportation must change, we require it in writing. Please submit all transportation notes to your child's school no later than 1:30 PM to allow our school personnel sufficient time to review them before dismissal. If a note is turned in after the deadline, it may be denied.
2. Submission Process:
We request that all transportation notes be emailed directly to the designated address associated with your childโs school. This will ensure immediate receipt and response, greatly reducing the risk of misinformation. Here are the email addresses for your reference:
SCHS:
schs.transportation@spencer.kyschools.us
Hillview:
hva.transportation@spencer.kyschools.us
SCMS:
scms.transportation@spencer.kyschools.us
SCES:
sces.transportation@spencer.kyschools.us
TES:
tes.transportation@spencer.kyschools.us
ELC:
elc.transportation@spencer.kyschools.us
Director of Transportation:
cameron.chesser@spencer.kyschools.us
3. Shuttle Notes for Sports:
For parents of high school and middle school students involved in sports who need to shuttle, I will accept one note per season that states the student is permitted to shuttle but it must specify they can do it as needed for the season, year, etc. These types of notes will be added into Infinite Campus.
4. Shuttle Routes (HS\MS Students):
- If your student is shuttling from SCMS to SCHS, they should ride Route 11.
- If they are shuttling from SCHS to SCMS, they should ride Route 16.
5. Approval Requirement:
Please remember that students must have an approved transportation note for any changes to their usual route. This policy is crucial for maintaining the safety and proper routing of all of our students as they travel to and from school.
If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you!
