Our bus arrives at Subway at 7:30 and leaves at 7:50 before school on a regular school day.&nbsp; After school the bus arrives at Subway approximately at 3:50-4:00 (please be flexible) on a regular school day.&nbsp; Please be aware that Ms. Haugen is unable to drive on the first two days of school and we will use two 14 passenger buses to provide Jamestown Subway transportation.&nbsp; Please be patient with us during these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rural Ypsi and northeast Monty&nbsp;&#8211; Driver will be contacting you once route is finalized, but it might not be until Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Millerton and south Monty&nbsp;&#8211; Driver will be contacting you once route is finalized, but it might not be until Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional Jamestown Routes&nbsp;&#8211; Drivers will contact you once routes are finalized, but might not be until Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Points of Emphasis for Riders:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No food or drink on the bus&nbsp;&#8211; Students are not allowed to eat food or drink on the bus.&nbsp; Water brought in a secured water bottle is allowed to be consumed on the bus.&nbsp; Any items brought on the bus must be in a sealed container or original packaging and not opened during the bus route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proper bus behavior&nbsp;&#8211; Students should be seated the entire time when riding the bus.&nbsp; Please no loud noises or throwing items etc.&nbsp; If there is a problem with another student on the bus for your child please contact the driver of the bus.&nbsp; We do not want anyone to have a bad experience on our bus routes, so please communicate any issues so they can be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be on time&nbsp;&#8211; Our bus routes are very full and each person riding in them needs to be on time or it slows the route down significantly.&nbsp; This affects school breakfast for students and makes them late for classes.&nbsp; Please be ready in advance to help out our drivers.&nbsp; We will do our best to keep on time, but there are many factors that can lead to delays.&nbsp; Our general guideline is we will wait a maximum of 3 minutes for each child to enter the bus, but it is very much appreciated to be on time rather than having to wait.&nbsp; Each bus driver has been instructed to leave if a student does not enter the bus after waiting 3 minutes.&nbsp; The Jamestown Subway bus will leave at 7:50 every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bus cleanliness&nbsp;&#8211; Please do not leave any items on the bus or bring trash etc.&nbsp; Our goal is to keep our vehicles clean and anything you can do to help is appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have any questions please call the school and we will be happy to help you.&nbsp; Thank you for your time and cooperation.&nbsp; We have great students and families and are going to have a great school year.&nbsp; Go Martins!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montpelier Bus Riding Families, We are absolutely excited to be back at school!&nbsp;
