In an effort to help parents and students better prepare for the 2011-2012 school year, the CCS have put together this online guide of information.
If you have additional questions, please contact the CCS at 678.2300.

August 25, 2011 will be the first day of school for students on the traditional calendar.

It’s time to start thinking about school starting for 53,000+ Cumberland County students.  (For 3,000 year round students, school has already started.)  Approximately half of these students will be transported daily on 460 school buses.

Please share with your child the following safety rules:

• Be at your assigned bus stop at least 5 minutes prior to your pick-up time.

• Stand back from the street.

• Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop, red lights flashing and stop sign out before approaching the bus.

• Get on the bus in a single file line and take your assigned seat.

• Sit and talk quietly with your neighbor.

• Keep your feet and belongings out of the aisle.

• Keep your bus clean.

• Stay seated until your bus stops.

• Exit the bus safely.

• Do not push or shove as you exit.

• Exit one at a time holding the handrail.

• Always cross in front of the bus. 

• Never walk behind the bus.

As always, we anticipate a wonderful year in student transportation.  Students, we ask you to be patient, alert and above all, be safe.
