Prairie View Open House
Prairie View Open House
Tuesday, August 17, 2021
4:30pm – 6:30pm
Open House offers parents a chance to meet their teacher and gives the student a chance to find their locker, classroom, and drop off school supplies. Also, the Transportation Department will be hosting an Open House Bus Ride Along. See note to parents below:
Dear parents of kindergarten, 1st grade students, or new students to the district;
The CCSD Transportation Department would like to invite all incoming kindergarten and
1st grade students and their families to attend the “Back to School Busing Ride-A-Long”
portion of Open House on Tuesday, August 17, 2021. Your attendance at this event is
not required, but “strongly recommended”; so your child can be better acclimated to
the busing procedures and meet their bus driver prior to the first day of school.
What will happen at this event?
1. Your child will meet their bus driver.
2. You and your child will ride the exact route and be dropped off at your child’s
bus stop (or you and your child can ride back to campus). We recommend one
parent ride the bus with your child and one meet the bus at the bus stop.
3. Your child will become familiar with the bus route and know which stop to get
off at on the first day of school.
4. Your child will know where their bus will be parked at in the loading zone (there
are 40 buses parked in this area so it can be confusing for young students).
5. The bus rules and expectations will be explained to you and your child.
When is this event?
Tuesday, August 17, 2021
5:50 PM (Heights and Hill parents and students will be directed to the shuttle
buses by staff members, then shuttled to the loading zone)
6:00 PM (View, Crest and Ridge parents and students will walk to the loading
zone, staff members will help direct you to this location)
6:20 PM all buses will depart to drive their routes with students and parents
aboard and drop students and parents off at their assigned bus stop
Again, this event is optional but “strongly recommended”, especially for kindergarten
students who this is their first experience riding a school bus. Riding the bus for the first
time can often be an “anxious” event for students and parents alike. We truly hope you
take advantage of this opportunity to better acclimate your child to the busing
procedures and routes they will be riding in the upcoming year. If you have any
questions about this event or other transportation related inquires please do not
hesitate to call.
Thank you,
Kris Hartgrave
