Dear Parents/Guardians of 2026-27 Kindergartners,

You are invited to attend the Hilton Transportation Department school bus safety event, specifically for kindergarteners.  Our department takes your child’s safety very seriously, and we have created this bus safety event specifically designed for Kindergartners as first-time school bus riders.  This gives you and your child the advantages of learning the safety aspects of school buses, the bus riding expectations prior to the first day that she/he rides the bus to school, as well as the opportunity to meet transportation staff and see our facility.  If there are questions regarding this event, please email transportationoffice@hilton.k12.ny.us.  A mailing will be sent home to all 2026-27 Kindergarteners during the week of June 22.
