Transportation In and effort to improve morning bus route pick up times the transportation department is asking that parents/guardians do a couple of things that we believe will assist in providing a consistent daily schedule. Making sure your house number is visible from the road, numbers large enough to see from the road. If visibility to your home is blocked, then putting house numbers on the mail box is helpful. Students need to be to the bus stop 5 minutes prior to regular pickup time. It usually takes a week or two at the start of the school year to get the bus route and schedules finalized. Once the routes are finalized we want to provide a consistent schedule for students and parents. If you have any questions concerning the bus routes you can contact the transportation department at 689-3418, ext. 714. BREWSTER SCHOOL DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT SCHOOL BUS RULES 1.
