Bus Code of Conduct

During track out, our school administration met with key stakeholders in the WCPSS Transportation department to review the Bus Code of Conduct. We ask kindly that you review the Bus Code of Conduct with your students. It is imperative that our students understand that riding the bus is a privilege. Thank you for your support with this matter if your student(s) ride the bus.
