Bus Transportation
TRANSPORTATION BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS
Riding the bus is a privilege.
Appropriate behavior is expected whenever a student is on the bus. Suspension from riding the bus does not mean suspension from school. Instead, the parent/guardian will be responsible for transporting the student to and from school. The bus driver or bus assistant shall submit a referral to the school administrator to manage the consequence. Bus disruption occurs anytime a student deliberately or inadvertently interferes with the safe operation of a school bus, which is stopped or moving; behaves in a manner adversely affecting an individual or property on or near the bus itself, at bus stops, or at pick-up areas.
Please, speak with your children about bus safety.

Visit my ride K-12 to locate your child’s bus stop. The bus company has informed me that they will not honor "temporary" bus/bus stop changes this school year. Your child must ride their assigned bus and get on/off at their assigned stop.
Remember, there are no bus options for transfer students.
The bus company can be reached at 505-253-0287 with any transportation questions.
