Bus Information

Find My Buswill open on Monday, August 21, 2017 with specifics regarding the 2017-2018 bus stops. Bus information will also be available in the Transportation Tab on Parent Portal.

Traffic Patterns at CB South:

Traffic patterns are a significant safety concern on the C.B. South property. Student drivers will receive directions regarding their entrance to and exit from the building with the driving permit application form. I am asking everyone who drives on the South property to observe the 15 MPH speed limit. This speed limit is important during the school day and equally important during afternoon, evening and weekend hours. All drivers are also asked to follow the painted traffic lanes and not cut across the parking aisles to reach their destination. We have experienced many “fender benders” and even more “near misses.” It is very important for everyone to follow these rules to avoid a more serious incident. Security cameras are used to monitor the parking lots and violators will lose driving privileges.

Please visit CB South’s website for specific information on Student Drop-Off/Pick-Up Procedures.

MBIT Information:

MBIT students will attend Middle Bucks Institute of Technology every day. Therefore, the following information is very important.

AM Session MBIT Students must board the MBIT bus each morning by 7:20 AM. The MBIT busses will be located in the front parking lot near the Auditorium.

At the conclusion of MBIT, AM Session Students will be dropped off at CB South in the front parking lot. Students should enter through the gymnasium doors and report directly to their assigned Titan Forum. MBIT drivers should enter through the rear entrance and also report directly to their Titan Forum.

PM Session MBIT Students are dismissed each day from class at 10:45 AM. Students are to report directly to the Cafeteria for lunch. Students will be dismissed from lunch to the MBIT busses at 11:05 AM. The PM MBIT busses return to CB South by 2:30 PM for dismissal.
