The Transportation Department is a team of more than one hundred people dedicated to serving the transportation needs of all Tempe Elementary Schools students and their families. The commitment made by each of these individuals is, "to provide the safest, friendliest and most efficient transportation services to our student learners." When this does not happen, we want to hear from you.
Our team of drivers, assistants, mechanics, trainers, specialists, dispatchers, and supervisors all expect one thing – Our commitment and dedication will enable all students to arrive safely at school every morning – ready to learn – and will enable all students to arrive safely home every afternoon.
I invite you to send your comments to me directly, by phone (480) 642-1540, Ext. 7619 or by e-mail.
