NYSED regulations state that baseball and softball bats are not permitted on school buses. However; we understand that can create a hardship for many of our families. In order to ensure our students are safe on the bus, while allowing the transportation of baseball and softball bats, we ask that if bats must be transported on the bus, they are secured within a bat bag/backpack, placed on the floor at the student's feet and not sticking out into the aisle.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the CLCS Bus Garage at 📞 (716) 753-5901.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Students in grades K-6 kicked off the “Hit the Trails and Parks Program” this week. Students will take their first hike on the school property learning about the benefits and etiquette of hiking in the outdoors. The first hike will count as the first of five hikes required to earn a medal and certificate for participating in this program. Although most grades will have two completed at school by the end of this school year, some will need to be done as a family to successfully complete this challenge. Students and parents are also eligible for prizes including helmets, bikes, Wegmans gift certificates, and other cool prizes. More details will be coming soon with information about the trails and how to submit your completion! Stay tuned!
