DCPS has assigned a bus monitor for each bus. However, out of an abundance of caution, we also have at least two staff members who will be riding the buses and monitoring Safe Passage from Oyster to Adams in the morning on Calvert St, and one staff member stationed at Marie-Reed to monitor Safe Passage in the morning there. If there are issues on the buses, we ask that you communicate with Ian Torres, our Restorative Coordinator at Adams ([email protected]). OA staff will ride buses in the mornings only, as during the 3:15pm dismissal they must support and supervise activities on campus. Support Staff members will be present at Adams to ensure safe onboarding to the buses at 3:15pm.

For the evening buses (5:40 p.m.), the OCA staff will be responsible for getting students in the after-school program on the bus. Please note that the buses can only idle for about 5 minutes, and we are asking parents and guardians to arrive on time at the pickup and drop off locations. As a reminder, parents and guardians are not allowed to get on the bus. See bus schedule below.
