School drivers will wait until 5 minutes after the pick-up time even if they arrive early. We recommend students to be at the stop 10 minutes prior to their pickup time. There are many factors that may impact the time a driver arrives at a given stop. Daily traffic patterns and student loads are unpredictable and may cause a driver’s time to vary. These situations, plus differences in clock times, have proven over the years that arriving ten minutes early gives students an adequate window of time to ensure they catch the school vehicle.
