The district uses "Chevron Parking" procedures to help make the loading of students at the Elementary School safer and more efficient.

Students who live in town are permitted to ride a bus to and from school only if they are kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades.  The only exception will be those students that live in town on a designated hazardous route.  (Designation is made by the Department of Transportation)

Buses will unload no earlier than 7:55 a.m. at Canton High School and then proceed to Canton Elementary School to unload.
