Transportation Policies

  • The District provides transportation for students from home to school and school to home.
  • This may include morning daycare pickups and afternoon daycare drop offs. These must be consistent everyday and must be within the student's attendance area boundary.
  • This may include accommodations for students with two homes.
  • Students are only allowed to ride the bus to which they are assigned.

  • Buses need to keep as close to their schedule as possible. Please be ready at the bus stop 5 minutes prior to your scheduled time.
  • Written notes from home and given to the bus driver is not acceptable. To safely process these alternate transportation requests, all requests need to be completed using the registration process listed above. Requested changes will be processed within 2-3 days. This ensures the safety of our passengers by allowing adequate time to communicate any changes to the bus company and drivers.
