bus

Please read an important message from Henrico County Public Schools regarding seat belts on the school bus.

The countdown to the first day of school is underway! Class assignments and bus schedules will be available Monday, Aug. 14, in the PowerSchool parent portal.

New this year, elementary school students who ride a bus equipped with seat belts must wear them while the bus is moving. HCPS added three-point shoulder and lap belts to most of the bus fleet this summer. 

Bus drivers will remind students to fasten their seat belts as they are seated, and will help secure seat belts as needed. Refusal to wear a seat belt may result in disciplinary consequences. This change is being made for your child’s safety, and we appreciate your support in reinforcing the importance of buckling up. 

We look forward to welcoming your student back to school on Monday, Aug. 21.
