Five Things for Today to Prepare for This Week

Five Things for Today to Prepare for This Week

As we gear up for the first week of school, here are five quick reminders to help your family feel prepared and ready for a smooth start.
 

Check Bus Routes

1. Check Bus Routes

Please remember that bus times are approximate during the first week of school as our new riders are learning routines and may need a little extra time. In addition, Head of the Bay construction will affect bus schedules through September and October, so plan ahead and allow for possible delays.
