How rides work
A ride, from the farm to the door
Morning
A bus stops near each family's farm or street, and a teacher meets it at the loop.
Afternoon
Teachers walk each child to the right bus. Children who stay for after care ride a later run.
Harvest and planting
Rides run on the school calendar. During the short breaks in October and April there are no buses.
