Parkway Northeast Middle School

2011-2012

Student Information

WHAT’S CHANGING? Busses will arrive in random order. Not all busses will be here at dismissal. Busses will not have an assigned spot or

order. Busses will “load and go” as fast as

possible.

Why the Change?Middle schools are now 2nd tier schools. Our busses now will be arriving as they

finish their high school routes.

WHAT HASN’T CHANGED? The intercom will dismiss you from 8th

period. You will have 5 minutes to go to your

locker and be out of the building before a final bell rings.

Even bus route numbers on North Side. Odd bus route numbers on South Side. Parent pick-up on North Side only.

NEW PROCEDURES There will be a Whiteboard at the exit on

each side of the building to record bus route numbers as they arrive and their order in that day’s line.

You will always look at the whiteboard when you exit the building to see what bus route numbers have arrived. If your number is not on the whiteboard,

your bus has not yet arrived.Remember, busses will arrive in different

orders and times each day so you must check daily!

NEW PROCEDURES (CONT.)

Bus Present:(Route number written on board) Load your bus

immediately

Bus NOT Present:

(Route number not written on board) Go to your designated waiting

area for your specific bus. These will be marked by cones.

Wait together for your bus BEHIND your cone.

When your bus arrives, load your bus immediately.

You look at the Whiteboard and then:

INCLEMENT WEATHERIn the event that the weather will prohibit waiting outside for busses to arrive: The whiteboards will be at Doors 2 & 6. Cones for waiting areas will be arranged

along South (odd) and North (even) hallways in the same order as they are in outside.

1ST DAY OF SCHOOL – 8TH PERIOD You will be dismissed by intercom 7

minutes early. You will go to your locker and go outside as quickly as possible.

The whiteboards will say:“Today all students should go to their

waiting area marked by the cone” All students should go to their waiting

area on the first day to learn where it is located.

When all students are assembled BEHIND their cones in their waiting areas, we will begin to load buses.
