Here are a few tips to consider as we work through some challenges with bus transportation:

General Tips:

Call 1-800-LA-BUSES for information regarding route delays. This is the same number the school calls for information.
Please arrive at your stop 5 minutes before your scheduled AM departure time and 10 minutes before PM pick up time.
Create a phone/texting tree to alert families at your stop and other stops on your route about delays.
Add a trusted parent to your emergency form so they may receive your child should you be running late or need to leave in the morning.

In the Morning

PARENTS SHOULD NEVER LEAVE THEIR CHILD UNATTENDED. Do not leave the bus stop until your child has departed for school.
Have one parent at your stop call 1-800-LA-BUSES if your bus is delayed. Dispatch will provide information and the estimated time of arrival.
One parent at the bus stop can call school to alert our staff of any delays. We will ‘tweet’ information as soon as possible.
Create a backup plan and make the decision to wait, drive to school, or carpool.

In the Afternoon:

Follow our “tweets” for information regarding any route absorptions (splits) and departure times from school (https://twitter.com/cmcsla).
Be at your stop before the estimated arrival time.
Have a plan for who will receive your child at the stop if you are unexpectedly running late. Make sure that person is listed on your emergency card in our Main Office.

Please call 1-800-LA-BUSES for information regarding route delays.
