FAQs and More Information

General Information
The bus program can accommodate children in all grades (K-8).  Buses will arrive at school in time for the 8:30 am start time, and will depart at 3:40 pm Monday through Thursday, and 2:45 pm on Fridays.  

Bus Stops/Bus Routes/Times 
Bus stops and routes are based on many criteria, including safety of the bus stop location, number of stops, and where people live. The final bus stops, routes and times are determined with the bus company, based on a balance of the factors listed above.  

Other Conditions
We have committed to the school that a parent will ride each bus at all times. All parents of children riding the bus are required to share the responsibility of “chaperoning” the bus. The total number of days each family chaperones is approximately six to eight per school year, depending on the number of families with children on the bus. Chaperoning guidelines and schedules are published well in advance.

Parents – and children – will also be asked to sign and adhere to a discipline agreement before they may ride the bus. Repeat violators of the discipline agreement will lose bus riding privileges.
