It is my understanding that all personal records and information pertaining to my child and family will remain strictly confidential.

Transportation Information
Dear Parents, Our after-school students are transported to Operation Shoestring from Galloway Elementary School as both a courtesy and expense of the Jackson Public School District. It is imperative that we respect their generosity and the terms of our transportation agreement. Therefore, we must comply with the same rules and regulations that Jackson Public Schools enforce for all of its bus riders. This means the following: – Students who are suspended from the bus will be suspended from our program for the same number of days. – Any student that causes habitual behavior on the bus will be suspended from the after-school program. The student will then be required to get home by whatever means were established with the school system upon their enrollment in Galloway Elementary School. – If a student’s behavior becomes disrespectful, disruptive, or dangerous for himself/herself, the driver, Operation Shoestring staff, or other students, he/she will be suspended from the after-school program. We thank you in advance for your cooperation regarding this matter and look forward to peaceful, pleasant bus rides for the remainder of the school year. Please check the box below to indicate that you understand and support our efforts to maintain our transportation relationship with the Jackson Public School District. Sincerely, Star Pool, Program Coordinator Operation Shoestring, Inc.
