🚌 NEW THIS YEAR: Afternoon Transportation Update

Beginning this school year, some Redbank Valley Primary and Intermediate students will participate in a supervised bus transfer at Redbank Valley High School as part of their afternoon route.

This new process is designed to:
🔴 Reduce after-school wait times
⚪ Get buses on the road sooner
🔴 Help students arrive home sooner when possible
⚪ Create a safe, organized, and efficient dismissal process

Not every student will need to transfer buses. Students who do transfer will be supported by District staff and bus drivers throughout the process.

📬 Families of students requiring a transfer will receive transportation information and a backpack tag before school begins.

We know a new routine can bring questions, and we want families to feel informed and comfortable with the change.

🌐 Please click here to visit the Redbank Valley School District website for complete details about the new afternoon transportation process: https://www.redbankvalley.net/index.php/district-news/297-rvsd-announced-update-to-afternoon-transportation-for-26-27-school-year.html

❤️🤍 Thank you for your patience, trust, and partnership as we prepare for a great school year!
