If you need to change transportation for a day, please send a note with your child. Any permanent changes to transportation will require you to fill out another form at the school office.



Pick up cards are required at all bus stops. If you do not have a card at the stop, your child will be brought back to school for pickup. If you do not have cards for your child, please come by the school office for assistance.


Please be at the bus stop ten minutes before drop off/ pick up to avoid missing the bus.


Por favor completen el formulario ECCO RIDE y envíenlo de regreso a la escuela lo antes posible. No se pueden realizar cambios en el transporte por teléfono. Si necesitan cambiar de transporte solamente un día, envíen una nota con su hijo/a. Cualquier cambio permanente en el transporte requerirá que ustedes llenen otro formulario en la oficina de la escuela.

WASP After School Program/Programas de la tarde

Weeden Afterschool School Program (WASP) is a paid program that runs Monday-Friday from 2:30-6:00. WASP will begin on Monday, August 10, 2026 after school dismissal. The cost per child is $50.00, $75.00 for two children, and $100 for three children. All fees are to be paid by Thursday of each week. Parents/guardians will not be charged on days when Florence City School cancels school, releases early, or for days that are not calendar in-school days.


Children can be picked up any time after the regular 2:30 p.m. school dismissal; however, please refer to the bolded statement below. Parents/guardians are asked to pick up children by 5:55 p.m. and no later than 6:00 p.m.


All parents/guardians' information MUST be updated if any changes occur during the time children are attending WASP. Communication between parents/guardians and WASP staff is very important for the safety of children. So, if there are any changes in who will pick up a child it has to be updated on the initial WASP form and/or through REMIND from the parents/guardians.


We expect positive behavior from ALL WASP students. Each time a child has not exemplified good behavior parents/guardians will be notified. After three (3) notifications, the child will not be able to attend WASP for one (1) or two (2) weeks, dependent upon the behavior. He/she will be allowed to return after nonparticipation, but if there are any ongoing issues, the child will be permanently dismissed from WASP.


For more information, please contact Ms. Andrea LInville @ 256-768-2900.
