District 47 Kindergartners Can Meet Their Bus, Bus Driver at Open House

The Transportation Joint Agreement (TJA), the bus service shared between Districts 47 and 155, will host its fourth annual Transportation Open House on Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2016 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The open house is a free event for incoming District 47 kindergartners and early childhood students and their families to meet the bus (and its drivers), learn about bus safety, ask questions and even board and ride the bus before the first day of school. The free event features a first aid and bus safety equipment station, a safe seating demonstration, snacks, games, activities, and more. One of the event’s main attractions is an interactive bus safety show starring Buster the Bus, a miniature “talking” school bus!

If possible, families are encouraged to attend the open house during the timeslot that corresponds to their last name:

• 9am-10am: A-F
• 10am-11am: G-L
• 11am-noon: M-R
• Noon-1pm: S-Z

The open house will be held at the TJA's “bus garage,” located at 1204 S. McHenry Avenue in Crystal Lake. If questions, please contact TJA at 815.455.0558
