Transportation Information

If you live less than 1.5 miles from the school, there will be a $200.00 transportation fee for the year.

No house stops will be made unless the child's IEP requires a house pick-up/drop-off.

Your child should be at the bus stop at least 10 minutes before the bus's arrival time, and please allow up to 10 minutes after the scheduled drop-off time in the event of traffic delays. It is important for students to be at the bus stop on time. Busses cannot return for students who miss the bus, as this causes delays for other students.

Preschool, Kindergarten, and First-Grade students MUST have a parent or guardian meet them at the bus stop after school. If no parent is present, the child will be taken back to school. Please understand that the Transportation Office is busy and cannot call to notify you that the bus has arrived at the stop.

Although the school district understands that unexpected situations sometimes arise, to ensure each student's safety pick-up and drop-off arrangements must be the same every day the student rides the bus. We understand that childcare plans may change. However, a new Transportation Request Form must be submitted to the district office at least two school days before the change. We cannot accept verbal changes.

Example of Acceptable Request: On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, a student is picked up at home before school and dropped off at a babysitter's house after school. On Thursday, the babysitter brings the child to school and picks the child up after school. This is acceptable; the arrangements are the same every day the student rides the bus.

Example of Unacceptable Request: A student is picked up before school and dropped off after school at a daycare center every day. One morning, the parent decides they would like the child picked up and dropped off at home because they have the day off from work. We would not be able to accommodate this request, as the arrangements are not the same for each day the student rides the bus.

With more than 2,300 students transported to multiple schools daily, we do not have the capacity to safely manage same-day variations in pick-up and drop-off arrangements for individual students.
