Once students have arrived at school, they will be released only to their parents or legal guardians. All students leaving school before the end of the school day must be signed out in the office by their parents. If parents want their child to be picked up at school at any time by anyone else, including siblings and grandparents, the parents must send a note to the school stating their wishes and the name of the person who will pick up the child. The person picking up the child should bring picture identification with them to the school office. All Burtonsville students who are bused to school are picked up at designated bus stops no more than one mile from their home.
Parents are responsible for maintaining discipline and safety at bus stops.
Students will not be allowed to ride any bus other than their regularly assigned bus without a written request from their parents and unless permission is obtained from the bus driver at least 24 hours ahead of time. Some of the buses are filled to capacity and cannot take extra riders. Students must follow the bus driver's rules and directions at all times. For your child's own safety, we must have a note from you pertaining to after school arrangements . Students may not change their own dismissal schedule without parental permission.
