Please encourage your child to watch the driver and follow bus stop safety rules.
Addresses & House Numbers
If your mailing address is a P.O. Box, please provide your physical street or road location so drivers know where to pick up and drop off your child.
A visible number on your house or rural mailbox helps our drivers find your home more safely and easily.
Backpacks
We recommend backpacks for younger children to keep items contained. This reduces the chance of something falling into the road or near a school bus.
Food & Drinks on the Bus
Students are not permitted to eat or drink while on the bus. Lollipops and hard candy can be especially dangerous if the bus stops suddenly.
Cell Phones & Electronics
The same cell phone and electronics policy that applies in school also applies on the bus. Students are expected to follow district rules regarding usage.
Bus Behavior
Students are expected to remain seated and behave appropriately while on the bus. Unsafe or improper behavior may result in a Disciplinary Referral and consequences.
