Safety Tips:
Children should be at the bus stop at least five (5) minutes prior to the pick up time.
Bus routes are not "door to door" routes. If your child's assigned bus stop is located on the opposite side of the street from where you live, children should wait on the side of the street where their home is located until the bus arrives at their stop and the driver signals it is safe to cross the street.
Winter Stops will be considered subject to the safety of the student and will be reviewed upon request. Winter stops run from Thanksgiving break to February vacation.
Walking Distance Guidelines per Policy EEA-R:
Kindergarten students shall be picked-up at their driveway whenever possible; maximum walking distance for setting bus stops shall be:
Elementary grade students .25 (1/4) of a mile
Middle school grades .5 (1/2) of a mile
High school grades .5 (1/2) of a mile
Whenever possible or appropriate, bus stops will be located closest to the residence of younger students.
Bus Stop Considerations:
Each stop is assessed individually and based on safety, walking distance, special needs, route efficiency and time constraints.
