A to Z Transportation strives to provide the safest ride possible to all our students. It is of the utmost importance to maintain student control. To do so please review with your children the “Rules for a Safe Ride”. This is posted in all vehicles and enforced by all our drivers.

The same standards of behavior that applies in the classroom also apply on all A to Z vehicles. Please review the transportation section of your school’s student handbook for further information.

There are two possible scenarios which affect transportation of our students during inclement weather:

• We will not transport a student who attends a School in a district which has cancelled their Public Schools for the day.
• We will not transport a student who lives in a district which has cancelled their Public Schools for the day, even if their School in another area is open.
