Dear Brookings-Harbor Parents/Guardians and Day Care Providers,

As the 2022-23 school year approaches, the Transportation Department must have an accurate count of students on each of our school buses. If you are new to the district (Welcome!) or have moved in the last year and need to request transportation to and from your home to the school, please fill out the transportation request form in the Online Registration packet as soon as possible.

BHSD like most Oregon communities has been faced with a severe bus driver shortage for the last couple of school years. Due to both the reality of the ongoing driver shortage and specific state rules regarding student transportation that include the distance from school requirements and drop-off locations, the school district will no longer be able to offer after-school transportation to local childcare centers, starting this school year.  

Historically, the district has provided transportation to childcare such as ABC Kids, Kids World, Choices for Children, and other private at-home childcare facilities. Starting this fall, parents/guardians will need to make alternative arrangements or talk to their childcare center about options for carpooling. We apologize for the inconvenience. Additionally, because of driver shortages and the resulting more crowded buses, and the possibility of combining routes to accommodate driver shortages or school needs such as field trips and athletics events, there will be no bus slips allowed this school year for one-time route changes. 

Parent/guardians will be responsible for arranging different transportation and notifying the school's main office when they have made a change to their student's transportation for the day. BHSD will not be able to accommodate sending students home on alternate routes for one-day drop-offs at friends’ homes.Thank you BHSD families for your continued understanding as we work to transport all riders safely and effectively with a shortage of drivers.

Estimados padres/tutores y proveedores de cuidado diurno de Brookings-Harbor,

A medida que se acerca el año escolar 2022-23, el Departamento de Transporte debe tener un conteo exacto de estudiantes en cada uno de nuestros autobuses escolares. Si es nuevo en el distrito (¡Bienvenido!) o se mudó el año pasado y necesita solicitar transporte hacia y desde su hogar a la escuela, complete el formulario de solicitud de transporte en el paquete de registro en línea lo antes posible.

BHSD, como la mayoría de las comunidades de Oregón, se ha enfrentado a una grave escasez de conductores de autobuses durante los últimos dos años escolares. Debido tanto a la realidad de la continua escasez de conductores como a las reglas estatales específicas con respecto al transporte de estudiantes que incluyen los requisitos de distancia de la escuela y los lugares de entrega, el distrito escolar ya no podrá ofrecer transporte después de la escuela a los centros de cuidado infantil locales, a partir de este año escolar.

Históricamente, el distrito ha ofrecido transporte a guarderías como ABC Kids, Kids World, Choices for Children y otras instalaciones privadas de cuidado de niños en el hogar. A partir de este otoño, los padres/tutores deberán hacer arreglos alternativos o hablar con su centro de cuidado infantil sobre las opciones para compartir el automóvil. Pedimos disculpas por las molestias. Además, debido a la escasez de conductores y los autobuses más llenos resultantes, y la posibilidad de combinar rutas para acomodar la escasez de conductores o las necesidades escolares, como excursiones y eventos deportivos, no se permitirán boletas de autobús este año escolar para cambios de ruta únicos. .

Los padres/tutores serán responsables de organizar un transporte diferente y notificar a la oficina principal de la escuela cuando hayan realizado un cambio en el transporte de su estudiante para el día. BHSD no podrá acomodar el envío de estudiantes a casa en rutas alternativas para dejarlos un día en las casas de amigos. Gracias a las familias de BHSD por su comprensión continua mientras trabajamos para transportar a todos los pasajeros de manera segura y efectiva con la escasez de conductores.

Michael Knight, director de transporte
