2023-2024 Student Transportation Plan Survey
August 1, 2023
We hope you are enjoying your summer break. Our staff is working hard behind the scenes to prepare for the start of the school year. One of the areas we need your help is by getting the necessary information to determine bus transportation routes. In order to set these routes, please complete this brief survey: https://bit.ly/3OF4fQZ. Ledgemere needs your input no later than this Sunday, August 6th.
We are asking for this information for EACH student who rides the bus. That could mean that whether your child rides every day, only in the mornings or afternoons, or only between sports seasons, we'd still like you to complete a survey for them.
Your information will help establish the need for busing to and from the York School Department schools and help improve your child’s safety, comfort, and overall experience.
Transportation resources can be found on the York Schools website at https://www.yorkschools.org/page/transportation.
Enjoy the last few weeks of the summer break. We look forward to a strong start to the school year.
Thank you!
