Bus Transportation- Families may utilize bus transportation for K-4th grade students. Parents will receive an email from transportation with their child’s bus number, pick-up/drop off times, and bus stop location. We ask that all Kindergarten students sit at the front of the bus or with a sibling. Transportation can be reached at 918-299-4415 ext. 5700.
Curbside Drop Off/Pick-Up- For safety purposes, students will only be dropped off/picked up in carlines. Parents will not be permitted to park and walk students into school. Our staff will open car doors to assist students, but we ask that families practice having students independently buckle/unbuckle from car seats/booster seats (there will be exceptions for students who require para support). To ensure the safety of adults and students, we ask that parents stay in their cars. All traffic exiting curbside lots in A, D, and F will be restricted to right turns only during arrival and dismissal. To keep our carline running safely and efficiently, please pull as far forward as possible, and follow guidance from our staff. We must ensure buses can enter bus ovals on time and maintain a clear path for emergency vehicles if needed.
Walkers/Bikers- Students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian if crossing Adams Street or 91st Street. Walkers/bikers must live in a neighborhood close to the school. Parents will need to inform the office or teacher of their request to have a student walker and obtain a walker tag.
Bus ovals are closed from 8:00-8:20 A.M. and from 2:50-3:30 P.M.
(Only PK parents will be allowed to enter the oval for drop-off/pick-up during this time.)
