Dismissal: Bus Transportation and Car Rider Procedures
Transportation arrangements are made clear in Digital Academy so that the school is aware of family dismissal plans. All changes to those plans must be made by 1:30pm so that the office and teacher are aware and the child's safety is not compromised with late notices.
