Welcome!
Because the school bus is an extension of the classroom, we are an integral part of the education of all students within our school district. Safety is our highest priority and a group effort. Students, parents, teachers, school administrators, drivers, and monitors are all assigned responsibility. We value each and every student and will emphasize that by treating each student with dignity and respect. We are committed to providing the safest, most consistent, reliable transportation possible and will strive to continually upgrade our service to students and parents to the greatest extent possible. Please call 912-462-5159 for late bus information.
How do I know the rules of the bus for my child?
Dear Brantley County Parents:
The goal of "Safely Transporting Brantley County's Future" can only be achieved with the cooperation of bus drivers, parents, and students. It is imperative that you review the STUDENT RULES OF CONDUCT ON BUSES, complete the student form and return this form to your child's bus driver. This information is important for us to keep track of all students riding the bus. Thank you for your cooperation.
