•No stop should be within 500 feet of another stop.
•The school bus must be visible for at least 500 feet in each direction on a highway with no shoulder and a speed limit greater than 60 miles per hour. The bus must be visible for a least 300 feet in each direction on other roadways.

Early Dismissal
On early release days, your child's bus route, stop and stop time will be 90 minutes earlier than their normal drop off. All early release days are shown on the district calendar.
Kindergarten Bus Transportation
Families are required to meet kindergarten students at the school bus stop. It is the family's responsibility to arrange for someone to meet their child. Drivers are required to take a kindergarten student back to their school if his or her parent or guardian is not visible at the stop and cannot be reached at their home phone by the dispatcher. If no one is there to meet the Kindergartener, that student will be returned to school.
