🔹 Pick-Up & Drop-Off

- Students living in areas with narrow lanes or dead-end roads must walk to a designated pick-up point assigned by the contractor.
- Students should be ready at their designated pick-up point at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time.
- Buses will wait a maximum of 2 minutes at each pick-up and drop-off point once in rare cases. The bus will not return for late arrivals.
- A responsible adult must be present to receive students aged 12 years or younger. If no one is available, the child will be returned to school, and parents will need to collect them from there.
