Transportation

Bus Conduct

School transportation privileges are extended to students conditional upon their satisfactory behavior on the bus. Unsatisfactory student behavior on the bus may result in suspension of transportation services or other appropriate disciplinary action for misconduct. We encourage parents to remind students about the importance of bus safety—staying seated and using appropriate volume, as well as language.

Bus Drop-off

Students aged 5-10 who ride a school bus home must be met at their designated stop by an adult. If an adult is not there to meet the bus, the student will remain on the bus and be returned to school. The student must then be picked up immediately by the parent or legal guardian. 

Per BOE policy 3541.3, the district will allow students older than ten to disembark from a school-sponsored vehicle at their assigned drop-off unless otherwise informed in writing by a parent/guardian that the child must be accompanied.

Bus drivers are not permitted to deviate from regularly scheduled stops either to pick up or discharge students, except in an emergency. Only the Superintendent of Schools, or designee, will have the authority to change bus routes and/or bus stops. 

Special circumstances may result in a change on a given day. The school office must be notified in writing of the reason for the change (childcare needs, Park and Rec or library program) and the address of the needed bus stop.
