Transportation department information
How will my child get to school?
Bus service is available for students who live one mile or
more from school and for those who live less than one mile
from school but who need to cross hazardous roads to get
to school.
Transportation and day care
Parents whose children attend day care or Adventures Plus
and need transportation must fill out a Day Care Request
form. This form was included in the packet of materials
you received from your school at kindergarten registration.
If you need this form and did not receive it, you can down-
load it from the Transportation homepage on the Anoka-
Hennepin School District website at www.ahschools.us/
transportation. The form is on the left-side of the page and
will be available online May 15.
Please complete the form as soon as possible and return
it to the Transportation department. This information is
necessary for your child to be properly routed on a bus to
and from school.
Bus information
If your child is eligible for transportation, you will receive bus
information in the mail about a week before school starts.
Waiting for the bus
Students should be at the bus stop five minutes prior to
the scheduled pick-up time.
Safety for students who walk to school
The Transportation department provides adult crossing
guards at key intersections to help children cross streets
safely as they walk to and from school.
Designated safe walking paths have been developed. There
is a link for them on the left-side of the Transportation home
page at www.ahschools.us/transportation.
Proper behavior on school buses is essential
The following rules and regulations have been adopted
by the Anoka-Hennepin School Board. It is hoped that
these guidelines will help us to provide safe transportation
to and from school for your student. As per Minnesota
Statute 123B.90, “Riding a school bus is a privilege, not a
right.” If you have questions about Transportation, please
call 763-506-1125.
