Bus Transportation

One of the services our school district provides is bus transportation for our students. Our Governing Board policy allows for transporting students to and from school based on the following criteria:

Students in gradesDistance from school
K-3more than .75 mile
4-5more than 1 mile
6-8more than 1.5 miles

Due to our concern for the safety of your child, we do not publish our bus route information. Please contact your child's school for more information about transportation routes.
While the primary responsibility of the driver is to operate the bus in a safe manner, each student must assume responsibility for his/her conduct while on the bus. For safety reasons, misbehavior is not tolerated, so please review the following list of bus safety rules with your child. While most students are courteous and thoughtful bus riders, parents are liable for all misbehavior of their children on the bus and at the neighborhood bus stop. Students at the bus stop or on the bus are subject to the discipline policies of the school for their behavior.
