Transportation Guidelines

The following guidelines apply to student transportation and assigned bus stops:

Transportation is only provided within the school’s attendance area.
Students are allowed only one route and bus stop to and from school.
Students are assigned a specific stop and route; they must use this stop on a daily basis.
Students must depart buses at their assigned stops on a consistent five (5) day a week basis.
Pick up/drop off stops may be different on one route, but each must be on a continuing five (5) day basis and must be within your student's school boundaries.
If your student is picked up/dropped off at a day care center/caregiver, that daycare center/caregiver, must be located within the boundaries of the school in which the student attends.
Drivers will be instructed not to allow students to ride any bus other than their assigned bus.
We will not be able to make bus changes to accommodate after-school activities, playdates, school projects, doctor/dental appointments, etc.
Students need to be at their bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled pickup time. If students are not at the stop when the bus arrives within that 5-minute window, the driver will continue on the route.
