The First Rider Program is for young, first time school bus riders. This fun learning experience helps children prepare for riding the school bus to and from school as well as while on field trips.
Participation will help alleviate concerns and answer questions you may have regarding the safety of your child while riding on or walking around a school bus. The children even get to ride a school bus!
