RIDING the BUS POLICIES and RULES

The driver of a school bus is charged with a heavy responsibility for the safety of the children in their care. The right of students to ride in the school bus is dependent upon their behavior and observance of rules pertaining to proper conduct. Drivers are authorized to enforce these rules and to make suggestions in line with good citizenship.

Students are assigned to their respective buses at the beginning of the school year. One bus stop for the morning and one bus stop for the afternoon. If multiple addresses are required to accommodate daycare situations please make sure the transportation department is contacted and the school is aware of what bus your child will be taking and to what address they are going to. Drivers will assign seats on the bus. Changes in bus assignments cannot be made without permission of the transportation supervisor, and /or building administrator.
 
Drop Off Policy:
Pre-Kindergarten - 4th grade students are not allowed off the bus without an adult present. Students will be returned to school if no one is at the bus stop for them. If you wish to make a change and allow your child off the bus without an adult present please email transportation.
 
Activity Bus:
We have four buses that transport students home after school activities on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:12 from the High School and 4:15 from the Middle School. Please make sure your child can tell the bus driver the address they are going to.
