Transportation FAQ

Q: Why are there no seat belts on school buses?

A: On school buses, occupant protection is provided by "compartmentalization," not safety belts. Compartmentalization is the name for the protective envelope created by strong, closely-spaced seats that have energy-absorbing high seat backs that protect occupants in the event of a crash.

Q: My child's bus driver won't let him eat on the bus. Why?

A: Students are not permitted to have food, candy or drinks on the bus. This rule is in affect for the safety and welfare of the children. The food, candy, and drinks are choking hazards. We understand some children are diabetic or have other health issues requiring he / she to have food and / or a drink available. 

Q: Can my child be dropped off at his day care?

A. Transportation to or from your ‘everyday' Day Care provider or Baby Sitter is permitted. The parent or guardian must complete a Day Care Transportation sheet and provide a copy for the school and for the bus driver. Forms are available in all school offices.
