Transportation Information

Our school district is committed to providing safe, secure and efficient transportation for our students. Transportation is provided by First Student, a nation leading transportation provider.
All students transported in a school bus are expected to observe good bus safety habits. All students shall follow the directions given by the bus driver. Our school buses have the capability of video-taping students as they ride to and from school. Video tapes may be used to provide additional documentation of student misconduct on the buses. Any student who violates good safety habits while being transported to or from school will be subject o the following consequences:
  1. At the first occurrence of minor misbehavior the principal will warn the student and issue either documented verbal or written notice to the student's parents. 
  2. Succeeding reported occurrences of minor misbehavior will result in disciplinary action, which may include but would not be limited to after-school detention and/or suspension from bus.
  3. Serious misbehavior may result in suspension from the bus up to a limit of seven (7) days. Serious misbehavior may include but would not be limited to fighting, vandalizing, throwing objects, endangering the lives of others, bringing dangerous articles on the bus or refusing to remain seated.
We are asking for your support to help our students understand the importance of: 
  • Removing their backpacks as they board the bus and placing them on their laps as they ride.
  • Only changing seats when the bus is stopped at a designated bus stop.
  • Offering up open seats to ensure that all students have a proper seat on a bus.
  • Practice respectful and responsible behavior while waiting for the bus and while riding in the bus.
 
Any student may be subject to further disciplinary action if they continue to exhibit inappropriate behavior on the bus after the aforementioned measures have been taken. Suspension from the bus does not relieve parents of their responsibility to see that their child attends school.
A student is eligible for free transportation if the student resides 1.5 miles or more from his/her assigned school or must cross a street determined to be a hazardous crossing.
The posted times on this site represent the anticipated arrival of the bus under normal weather conditions. Weather or traffic congestion may result in a route running later than the posted time. It is recommended to account for potential variations by allowing a 10-minute window both before and after the scheduled bus arrival time, taking into consideration weather conditions and traffic throughout the school year.
