Wake Up...Take the Wheel of Your Future! Join us Saturday, May 9th, from 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM, for an exciting, hands-on experience at the Berkeley County Schools Transportation Department at 88 Harlan Springs Road in Martinsburg. You’ll have the opportunity to test-drive a school bus and explore a career in student transportation. Enjoy the lively atmosphere with live music from 95.9 the Big Dawg with Bob Steele and discover why Berkeley County Schools could be the right place for you. To participate in the bus test drive, you must be 21 years or older, possess a valid driver’s license, and wear closed-toe, closed-back shoes. To become a substitute bus operator, applicants must be 21 years or older, have a high school diploma or GED, and be able to pass a background check. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to explore a fulfilling career in your community. Register to secure your spot — we can't wait to see you there!
Permission slips and payment for the 1st and 2nd grade field trip are due by May 5. If you need another form please contact your student’s homeroom teacher.
