Our transportation team is dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming and respectful environment on all of our buses and at the bus stops. Our drivers will teach and model for students how to be respectful, responsible, safe and kind while on the bus.

Bus Rider Expectations

  • Listen to and follow the bus drivers instructions
  • Stay seated at all times and use an indoor voice
  • Keep items inside the bus and outside of the aisle
  • Use headphones and electronics with the sound off
  • Use respectful, responsible, safe and kind behavior
  • Help keep the bus clean, no food or drinks allowed

Bus Routes

New this year, families can also view their bus route information using the Stopfinder app. Families can use the app to view their child’s bus stop. Families can download the free Stopfinder app in the Apple App Store or Google Play. Route delays or other updates will be communicated with families through ParentSquare.

Snow Routes

What are snow routes?

A snow bus route (or snow route) is a modified route that is used when road conditions are impacted by weather and driving a school bus in some areas may not be advised. Transportation will make individual arrangements for students who receive specialized transportation which do not follow the snow routes.

If snow routes are in effect, students must catch their bus at the alternate stops below:

  • Route 1: Van Wyck Road, Guide Meridian side: Meet at Ryzex Way, on W. Horton Rd.
  • Route 4: E. Horton Road: Meet at Ryzex Way, on W. Horton Rd.
  • Route 9: Zander Road: Meet at E. Smith Rd.
