Reminder that students that are not assigned to a specific bus and driver are not allowed to travel on a school bus with another student unless the front office is contacted ahead of time. Permission can only be granted by the guest riders parents/guardians. For example, if student A wants friends B and C to ride the bus after school for any reason. Student B's parent/guardian and student C's parent/guardian has to communicate with the front office about the change. Student A's parent/guardian can not give permission for Student B and C. Please give a reasonable amount of time for the front office to make the change. Time is needed to contact the bus driver and also to account for the number of riders before permission is granted. Asking permission while buses are loading is not an reasonable amount of time to properly prepare and permission will only be granted under special circumstances unforeseen by families, such as a family emergency.
Please see the attached information regarding semester tests (finals) for students in grades 9-12.

• How this opportunity will benefit your student
• What we’ll see and do on our trip
• Everything that’s included in this experience
• How your child can earn academic credit
• How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
• How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period
