Daylight Savings Time Changes Through 2015

Office hours on school days are 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM during the school year, except holidays and early release days. On early release days the office is closed by 4:00 PM. Office hours on non-school business days are 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday thru Thursday and closed on Fridays and holidays during the summer. To reach Transportation staff please refer to our Contacts link above.

There have been many changes to routes as the new schools came into alignment for the 08-09 school year and there will be more for the 09-10 year.  Please use the Street Search (above) for current bus route eligibility.  Check it often as streets are constantly being added or reassigned to different routes. The new year we will be using the bus routing system to pinpoint all of our students and refine our bus routes even further. Basic changes will not be posted prior to August 10, 2009.

Contracts are printable from this site, either under Printable Documents (upper left) or under Bus Information (top), or they are available on your campus.  Copy your contracts and return them to your appropriate campus.  They will forward them to us.

Transportation requires a 3-school-day waiting period on all bus contracts, once they are received at the Transportation office, before students may begin to ride.  This is necessary to verify the information with each school's database, correct contract errors, assign buses, notify drivers of new or reactivated stops, have a chance to hear from parents or schools about stops and times and update route descriptions for sub-drivers. 

Sometimes routes may change to the point that we have to send out letters to other parents that their children's stops, buses or times will have to change as a result.  We must make every effort to do that which is safest for our children.  Please understand the need to have timely, accurate communications in all directions where it affects our children.  If your student's address changes, please change it at school (in your school's computer records) before submitting a new bus contract.  We match the bus contract to those records so they must be accurate.

Have alternate transportation arrangements in place if children miss their bus.  Should we not feel comfortable transporting your child due to missing or conflicting information, he/she will be left at or returned to their primary school campus. In-town bus stops are 1/4 mile or less apart. As a result, we will not move these stops or create new stops in these areas. Out of town bus riders should check with Transportation a day or more before expecting to begin riding after bus contracts have been received in our offices to be sure stops are active. Buses will visit the same stops every day, as practical. Stops that are out of the way or simply do not have riders will become inactive. Kindergarten parents/guardians need to communicate with their school office about safety practices regarding their children being transported to and from school and home. The school can tell you when your child is eligible to ride but still check with us to be sure your stop is active. We do not require parents to be standing at the stop. Please be sure that your child knows the bus stop area and how to get to and from it and home as specified on the Regular Bus Rider Contract form.
