BUS ROUTE INFORMATION
Dan Endorf, Superintendent
Dear Bus Route Parents:
I’m thrilled to begin the school year on August 19th, and I know the school day begins with a bus ride for many students in the North Bend Central School District. Although you have a new face in the superintendency, you’ll see the same familiar faces driving bus routes in 2010-11. Rod Scott (AM) and Ed Kroenke (PM) are driving the South route again this year, while Mel Kreitman handles duties to the Northwest and Ed Kroenke (AM) and Karma Amison (PM) team-up for the Northeast route.
We welcome a few new faces and a fair amount of land into the southern portion of the district this year. This is certainly great news for the district but it does lead to longer bus rides for most students. The drive time to the south will have an impact on all of our routes to some extent. For instance, Mel will continue to pick-up the students living in the NW edge of the district but will also swing down to Morse Bluff and pick-up those students since he will have the most space available on his bus.
Below are a couple of important notes to remember as parents of bus riding students:
• Safety comes first. We may use pick-up points when the weather or road conditions merit it.
• Communication is paramount. Please let our drivers know if your circumstances change regarding bus riding for the day, week or even longer.
• Drivers will not allow students to depart the bus at delivery sites without an adult present.
• Be prompt. One late arrival can impact an entire route.
• Option enrollment families interested in using bus service should contact Kevin Ferguson at 652-3268 regarding their options for busing.
• Part of keeping our students safe is making sure they are seated and conscientious of the driver’s responsibilities. Students will lose bus riding privileges if they exhibit poor behavior.
• Again, please inform bus drivers if you aren’t using our bus service that day or have other questions about your route.

• Bus drivers are in the process of calling you with information regarding approximate pick-up points, times and other information relative to your address. Remember, routes are bound to be a little longer due to the increased size of our district.
• If problems arise, please call the driver, then Mr. Ferguson. If you feel the need to communicate further, please contact the principals or me.
• We always need additional drivers. Please contact us if you are interested in driving bus for the district.
Let’s have a great school year!
