Valentine Elementary School welcomes back all our students and families to our first day of school on Monday, July 27th.
BUS STOPS
As circumstances change, stop times may have to be adjusted. Be at stops at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time.
Kindergarten students must be met by an adult or get off with an older sibling/relative.
Students must have permanent AM & PM bus stops on file with the school office. Students are only permitted one bus stop designation. Bus stop changes will not be made without the Bus Stop Change Form completed one (1) school day prior to the date of the change. Any request to change a bus stop must be filled out on the Bus Stop Change Form at least one day before the change is requested to go into effect. Bus Stop Change Forms are available in the office and on the school website, www.valentineaz.net.
Bus services are a privilege, not a requirement. Procedures are in place to provide the driver with a distraction-free environment to ensure the safety of all students and staff on the bus. Students who are unable to follow bus behavior procedures will be removed from using bus services. This includes behavior expectations at all bus stops, both AM & PM.
AFTER SCHOOL PICK-UP FOR STUDENTS
School dismissal begins at 3:20 pm. Be at school before this time if you are picking a student up from the school. Stay in your car in the Pick Up Zone - DO NOT PARK IN THE PICK UP ZONE.
If you are changing a student's transportation from riding the bus to being picked up, you must call the office to make this change before 2:00 pm. All staff members, including office staff, are unavailable to make transportation changes between 2:00 pm - 3:20 pm. Afternoon transportation rosters are printed for teachers and drivers at 2:00 pm and all staff are assisting with preparations for afternoon dismissal. Phone calls to the school office to change from riding the bus home to pick up at school must be made before 2:00 pm. Office staff will not be processing calls after 2:00 pm
If you have questions or need further information, contact the school office at 928-769-2310.
