Transportation

Students are transported to school on buses operated by Exceptional Persons Inc.(291-6967), First Student (291-4879), or their local school district (See School District phone #'s at the bottom of this page.).

You should receive information from your bus driver regarding the approximate time of pick up and drop off for your student. If you have questions regarding buses during the school year please call the company handling your child's transportation or the school districts Superintendent's office.

Some things to remember:

1. Have your child ready for the bus at the same time he or she was picked up last school year. Drivers may only contact families where there is a time change.

2. Watch carefully for your child's bus. Drivers will wait no longer that one minute for each child.

3. There should always be someone at home after school to get your child from the bus.

4. Always call the school (268-7700) if your child is going to be absent, in addition to calling the bus garage.

5. ALWAYS CALL THE SCHOOL OFFICE (268-7700) REGARDING ADDRESS CHANGE.

6. Busing changes may ONLY be made by calling the school (i.e., permanent address changes, change in baby sitter address, change in pick up or drop off either before or after school - even for one day). Your child's bus driver will not be able to make any changes unless a note comes from the school.

7. If weather causes cancellation of school, this will be announced on local television or radio and will be identified as "River Hills."

8. Drivers will try to arrive at your home in the morning and in the afternoon at the same time every day.

9. If your child will be picked up after school then that person needs to arrive PRIOR to the bus loading time. If no one is there to pick them up at the time the bus loads we will have them transported on the bus since we cannot supervise students after the bus departs.

If you have any questions regarding the time of pick up or drop off, please call the bus supervisor at 291-6967 and discuss your concerns with them.
