Transportation

Bus Changes

Students must get on and off their own bus at their own stop only. Students may not ride another bus for the purpose of visiting a friend. If it is necessary to change buses due to long-term childcare you must obtain written authorization
from the North Fulton Transportation Department.

In Emergency situations only, the Principal or Assistant Principal may grant bus changes. This may only be accomplished with written consent from the parent or legal guardian.

Students who ordinarily ride the bus and desire to accompany a friend who is a car rider, must bring written permission from a parent/guardian. All transportation notes must be sent to the office by 9 am.

Note: Kindergarten students must be met at the bus stop by their parent/guardian or the bus driver will return them to the school.

Car Pool

We have an excellent bus system and encourage all students to ride the bus; however, car riding is an option. Due to the number of parents who choose to drive ther childen, the car pool lane is very crowded. You may plan to arrive on time and have to wait in line for drop off or pick up. Please allow plenty of extra time in your schedule.

In the morning students must be dropped off in front of the school on the sidewalk. Drivers must follow the traffic patterns and follow directions from supervising staff members in order to provide a safe environment. Please DO NOT drop off children in the parking lot. If you choose to park, you MUST escort your child across the carpool crosswalk.

Students must exit the car on the right, so they get out on the sidewalk only. If they need help carrying their things, please park in the lot and walk them into the building.

Tardies

Students must be in their classrooms by 7:50 AM or they are considered tardy. If a student is in the carpool lane when they 7:50 bell rings, the parent must park and walk their child to the front desk for late check-in.

In the afternoon, car riders are called at approximately 2:20. Allow several minutes for them to reach the pick up area and prepare to wait until you are in front of the school and next to the sidewalk before you allow your child to enter the car.

Day Care

Day Care arrangements are all made by parents/guardians. The school must be informed about these arrangements as soon as they are made so we can accomodate your child. Day Care riders are dismissed at 2:10 PM. If you decide to pick them up personally for an appointment, please notify the school in writing. Aftercare is available at Creek View through PromeTime, a YMCA program operated on the premises by Creek View staff members daily.

Walkers

Students should arrive at school no sooner than 7:20 when the crossing guard is on duty. Kindergarteners may not walk unescorted to school. Bicycles are only encouraged on good weather days for safety reasons.
