Transportation Safety Information

Students can help keep every bus ride safe by following a few important expectations:
- Arrive at the bus stop approximately five minutes before the scheduled pickup time.
- Wait a safe distance from the roadway until the bus has stopped and the door has opened.
- Board and exit the bus in an orderly manner.
- Remain seated and follow the bus driver's directions.
- Never cross behind a school bus.
- When crossing the street is required, follow the bus driver’s instructions and wait for the driver’s signal before crossing.
-
For student safety, a parent, guardian, or other authorized adult must present a valid government-issued photo ID before a student is released from the bus. The individual must also be listed as authorized to receive the student.
Families should keep their students’ authorized pickup information current with the district.

Students who are transported by school bus receive instruction in school bus safety and emergency procedures. This includes information about emergency exits, evacuation procedures, passenger conduct, and emergency equipment.
