Transportation Update

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Bus R will have its usual afternoon route.

Bus B, C, and Glenburn Routes are not operating today due to driver illness. Families are asked to arrange alternative transportation home for students who normally ride these buses if they can.

Late-bus transportation will be available for students who are unable to secure a ride home. Please note that late buses will run later than their usual scheduled times this evening, resulting in later arrivals home.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.

We're grateful for the dedicated school bus drivers who safely transport our students every day. Their commitment, training, and care help ensure thousands of safe trips throughout the school year. Be sure to thank a bus driver this week! #BusSafetyWeek #WeAreBangor

Did you know? Maine law requires drivers to stop for a school bus with red lights flashing and stop arm extended. Taking a few extra moments to stop helps protect students as they board and exit the bus. Let's all do our part to keep children safe. #BusSafetyWeek #SafetyFirst

Slow down in school zones! Reduced speed limits help protect students walking, biking, and getting on and off buses. A few extra seconds can save a life. Stay alert, obey posted speeds, and help keep Bangor students safe. #BusSafetyWeek #WeAreBangor

School bus safety doesn't end when the bus stops. Students may need to cross the street and can be difficult to see, especially in the early morning or late afternoon. Slow down, stay alert, and watch carefully whenever you're near a school bus. #BusSafetyWeek #WeAreBangor

Students can help make their ride safer by arriving at the bus stop early, staying out of the roadway, and waiting calmly for the bus to come to a complete stop before approaching. Safe habits at the bus stop help everyone start the day right. #BusSafetyWeek #WeAreBangor

Leading up to Bus Safety Week, students across the Bangor School Department have been participating in bus safety drills to help ensure they know how to stay safe while riding the bus each day.

These important exercises give students the opportunity to practice safe boarding and exiting procedures, emergency evacuation protocols, and proper behavior while on the bus. The Cyr Bus team works hard to make student safety a top priority, and these drills help reinforce the skills and confidence students need in the event of an emergency.
