Transportation

Our Transportation Department is responsible for the safe and efficient transport of students and district employees. Our bus drivers follow all state regulations regarding school bus operation and traffic laws. You can rest easy knowing that your child’s safety is our top priority.

During the first week of school, it is not uncommon for delays and route adjustments to occur. Please have children at at their bus stop five minutes early, and be patient with these initial delays.

2024–2025 Bus Routes

DATTCO has released the school bus routes for the 2024–2025 school year.

Below is the link to the parent portal of the DATTCO new bus tracking system, call MY RIDE K–12, and a quick “how to guide”.

Also attached are detailed, step by step, directions on how to login and establish parent accounts for computers and the mobile app.
You will need your students school ID number (if you don’t have this number, please contact your school offices) and birthdate to link your child(ren) to your account.

With this new system you will be able to track your child’s bus in real time. We hope you find this feature helpful! Please note, that with our rural community there are areas that the gps/cell/internet service is not available or not very strong, and this can interfere with the tracking feature.

As with each new school year, we ask parents to have patience during the first week of school as the bus drivers, students and parents are all getting used to a new routine. Routes both to and from school may be delayed up to 15 minutes or so during this transition time.

If you have changes (daycare or joint custodial stops) needed for your bus routes, please let the school office know. We can not guarantee that new bus change requests will be honored in the first seven school days but will make every effort to accommodate those as quickly as possible. If you don’t see your student’s stop, please let the office know as soon as possible.

Bus Rules

Riding the school bus is a privilege, not a right. We enforce bus rules to make travel to and from school as safe as possible. Please be aware that we monitor video and audio on all district buses to ensure our drivers and students abide by these rules.

  1. Do not throw objects inside or out of the bus.
  2. Noise should be at a level acceptable to both the driver and/or coaches.
  3. Keep the bus clean, and throw trash in the proper containers.
  4. Remain in your seat.
  5. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
  6. No glass containers.
  7. Keep the aisle clear.
  8. Do not compromise the safety of yourself or others.
  9. Students will follow directions given by the bus driver and/or the coaches.
  10. The school, bus driver, and/or coaches are not responsible for personal items left unattended on the bus.

Transportation Changes

If your child needs to ride the bus to a location other than their home stop, please submit a Transportation Change Request. Changes take 48–72 hours to take effect, so plan ahead. Bus changes submitted during the first two weeks of school can take up to a week to process.

Bus changes are permanent except in joint-custody cases. Students below fifth grade may not ride a different bus for play dates or other non-emergency situations. High school students may ride different buses throughout the week to accommodate work schedules and other after-school activities.

If you need other accommodations, please contact your child’s school office.
