Please make sure to contact the school office at 765-629-2323 if you have a transportation change. Classroom teachers may not be able to check emails until the end of the day and therefore may miss the message. Changes need to be made by 2:00 p.m.

According to the Milroy Elementary Handbook, "All students will be sent home according to the instructions parents provide at registration unless there is written notice or phone communication from the parent or guardian. If unexpected changes in transportation occur, please contact Milroy Elementary School Office prior to 2:00 p.m."

Thank you for your help with this!

President – Lacy Spears

Treasurer – Hunter Miller

Also, a note from Mr. Jameson:

"There will be no "guest bus passes" for any students on Rush County School buses. Students will not be allowed to take friends home with them on the bus for a party or sleepover."

Please talk with your child about bus safety and how it is important to sit in the seat properly, keep hands and feet inside the aisle, and to follow the expectations we have in place. I've explained to all students that the bus driver's job is to get them to and from school safely. However, they need to do their job as well and follow the rules.

Students are to only ride the bus assigned to him/her. We are not able to allow students to "bus hop" and ride home with friends, etc. Thanks for your help with this.
