Mealtime is often used for special announcements, recognition and guest speakers from the community. Healthy snacks are provided between meals. Registered nurses are on duty 24 hours a day in the Health Center, and a physician is always on call. Parents are routinely notified of childhood illnesses according to parental instructions. Many students are bused home every day.
Students living too far away for a daily commute go home on weekends.
Weekend buses leave campus in the early afternoons on Fridays and return on Sunday evenings. Special holiday transportation schedules are announced well in advance. To make bus trips as safe and comfortable as possible, buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts and a variety of assistive devices designed to suit individual needs. Car seats or seat harnesses are provided to younger students or students whose physical limitations require assistance to be able to sit comfortably in the buses. Each bus has a driver and a bus attendant who are trained in communications skills and other skills needed to work with special needs children.
