BUS TRANSPORTATION PROCEDURES: K - 12

Students MAY NOT ride on buses other than those assigned or exit their assigned bus at different stops. The school district is legally responsible and accountable for the safe transportation of students.

All students transported and all bus routes are on file with the Department of Education and our bus contractors. If students were to ride on buses other than those assigned, the Transportation Supervisor would have no way of verifying which students are riding on the buses. Often, police involvement is required when students do not get off at their assigned stops. Therefore, all students MUST be picked up at the same stop each day and discharged at the same location.

The only time a student may ride a different bus is in an emergency, illness or death in the family. In this case, the Transportation Office must be notified by telephone  and in writing to be kept on file. If parents are going to be away (vacation or business trip), they must arrange for the caregiver to transport the student to and from their assigned bus stop, or directly to and from school.

BECAUSE THE SECURITY AND SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE, THE PREVIOUS RULES AND REGULATIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

We appreciate your support and cooperation in this vital matter.

Walkers

Bicycles

The Board of Education prohibits the use of skateboards, snowboards, roller skates/blades on school grounds at any time. The Board of Education prohibits the use of skateboards, scooters, snowboards, roller skates/blades on school grounds at any time.

Parking and Child Pick-Up

The Hansom Street parking lot is designated as the parking lot for parents and visitors. No car riders are to be dropped off in the Allen Road parking area.  The teacher on bus duty has been instructed to challenge any adult who tries to take a child off a bus. The adult will be directed to the Office and after proper identification, a note will be issued for the Bus Aide to permit the child to get off the bus to go with the adult. In this way, we can better account for all children.
