From all appearances, Monday August 30th will be the first day of school. At this point it is unknown whether or not COVID will be playing a role in school operations and protocol. Changes and/or additional announcements will be made on our official Facebook page as we become aware of them. Last year home schooling reduced the number of school buses from five to three buses for our Community students. Many new families have arrived in the past several months who will be new to the bus stop experience. Please recognize this and be courteous and kind if you find the need to inform a member of procedures that need to be followed. Below are some reminders for the CLCA Bus stop. If you are having caregivers, grandparents or others picking up or dropping off your children, please be sure to make them aware of all procedures, especially involving the afternoon/Elementary and Primary buses. Parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring that children are aware of and complying with social distancing or other requirements that may be instituted by the school district.
Please allow ample time to travel to the bus stop and arrive at least 5 minutes before your child’s bus time.
Follow all travel direction signs in the lot (lanes are ONE WAY)
