7. Transportation changes

You can fax your transportation change along with a photo ID before 3pm. You must also follow up with a phone call to make certain the fax was received. Can NOT be ed.
The best way to alert the teacher of a change is to place the note in the student’s daily folder. This will ensure that it gets to the appropriate person.
All changes must be made before 3pm.
