The TCE PTO Trunk or Treat event is Friday, October 27, 2023 from 6-7:30 PM. We would love to have families, groups, organizations or businesses decorate their trunks and join us for an evening of fun, games and refreshments. In order to have a successful event, we would like to have groups sign up for a Trunk or Treat space. There is no fee, but we would like to have 15-20+ trunks for the kids to visit! If decorating isn't for you, we still need candy! Use the link below to review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Candy and food donations will need to be in the office by 3PM on Friday, October 27. Thank you!

Tri-Central Community Schools
School Bus Policy
Tri-Central Community Schools always strives for student safety. We have recently seen an increase in the number of parents requesting bus changes, primarily at the end of the school day.
The following will be the policy for granting a bus change:
1) To request a different bus, a parent must submit a signed request (note) to the appropriate school office. Students may only ride a different bus due to childcare issues or a severe family emergency. The appropriate administrator/transportation director will then sign off on the note indicating to the bus driver that the student is to ride on their bus. Administration will make the final determination for emergency situations.
2) During the registration process parents and guardians are given the opportunity to select their transportation choice. Parents may choose a daycare location or alternate pickup/drop-off location.
3) TCCS cannot have students changing buses from those that are designated as their assigned bus.
4) The school and students work best when there is a regular routine for AM/PM transportation. By establishing these policies, we will:
a. Know where the child is supposed to be.
b. Reduced confusion with the student, bus driver, school, and teachers.
c. Teachers know assigned bus at the end of the school day.
d. Reduction of phone calls to the school for “lost children” due to changes in end of the day arrangements.
5) Drivers have a master list of all students that are assigned to their bus. If we continue to allow daily changes this will create a huge safety issue in the event there would be a bus crash.
