Buses
Bus transportation is provided for all students. Routes and schedules are available in the school
office and online. The bus port is reserved for buses and school use; parents are asked not to use
this area unless directed by school personnel.
Students may ride other buses if a note is provided by a parent / guardian with the bus # and
the person they are going home with listed in the letter. However, due to limited space, some bus
routes may prohibit this.
When students 8 and under are dropped off, a parent or guardian must be visible. If not, the
student will be returned to school and the parent will be responsible for picking the child up from
school. If the child is not picked up by 3:00 p.m., the student will be sent to ASP. The cost per
day is $7.00 after the initial $10 registration fee has been paid.
Bus drivers have a tremendous responsibility in transporting our children every day and need our
cooperation. Parents have jurisdiction at bus stops, not the school. Please refer to the Safe Rider
Program information and/or the Student Code of Conduct for specific details regarding
expectation for behavior on the school bus. County bus transportation is a privilege that may be
withdrawn for inappropriate behavior.
