Participating students will receive a unique card embedded with a chip. Students will scan their RFID cards when entering and exiting the bus. The scanner will log the location and time of entries or exits. Parents can view this data using the MyStop app available for download on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bend.k12.or.us\/district\/parents\/school-buses\/my-stop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bend-La Pine Schools website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Interested parents or guardians can fill out the RFID consent form, available at our website. Upon completion, parents can drop off the form with the Transportation Department between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. (<span class=\"contextualExtensionHighlight ms-font-color-themePrimary ms-border-color-themePrimary ident_1556_1590\" role=\"button\">501 SE Second St. in Bend or 16350<\/span> First St. in La Pine) or at the school office.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Picture below from Day #1 of Kindergarten Camp!<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/files\/2018\/09\/IMG_1320.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colleagues, Thank you for such a great first week of school!\u00a0 You all have worked so hard to get classrooms set-up, to be ready to greet families at Open House, to make the first day of school the best one &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/2018\/09\/07\/september-7\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":541,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/541"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27\/revisions\/46"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/gary.defrang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
