EMS Bus Routes RHS Bus Routes VoTech Bus Info

The Transportation Department would like your child/children’s experience riding a school bus to be a pleasant one. This takes cooperation from all concerned.

For your information, we would like you to be aware of the following:

Drivers are not permitted to make unauthorized stops. They must follow the Board approved route, and students are permitted to board and depart only at their assigned stop.
Students should be at their assigned bus stop 5 minutes before bus arrival time.
We do not make door-to-door pickups. Students are bused as conveniently as possible.
If you child goes to a babysitter, it must be in the designated session for your child, or transportation will be you or your sitter’s responsibility. Babysitting must be a permanent five-day a week arrangement and must be requested in writing. This should be done prior to August 1st.
We bus from home to school and back and are not permitted to bus for religious instructions, parties and/or club meetings.
If an emergency arises, i.e. illness in family, alternate arrangements may be made in writing to the building principal or by phone followed by written confirmation. Please specify where the child is to go and with whom.
It is helpful if students know their name and full address.
Please be sure someone is home to receive young children. You are strongly advised to have an emergency plan in place in the event you are not home when your child arrives. Your child should be aware of this plan.
For the safety of all, students are expected to conform to the attached safety tips. Any repeated violations could result in revoked riding privileges.

If you have questions or problems, please call the Transportation Office.
