Transportation

Parent's Role

Transporting children is a shared responsibility between home and school. While the district is responsible for children once they board their bus, families are solely responsible for the safety and supervision of their children to and from the designated bus stop and while students wait for their bus.

Parents/guardians of preschool, kindergarten and first-grade children are advised to meet and receive their children at the bus stop.

Student's Role

Family support for appropriate behaviors is essential. Parents are asked to reinforce with their children the importance of obeying the district’s Student Code of Conduct and Bus Safety Rules when riding in a school bus. Such rules ensure the safety and welfare of all riders. Thus, if a child jeopardizes everyone’s safety by repeatedly violating these rules, the student may ultimately be denied the privilege of riding the bus.

Resolution of Problems

Bus routes are designed for safety and efficiency. Extended stop times impact multiple routes. We want to properly address any concerns you may have, so we please ask that you do not interrupt the bus schedule by talking directly with a driver while he or she is on the route. If a problem or concern arises related to school bus transportation, parents are encouraged to write the driver a note or call (937) 855-3897 to leave a message at the Bus Service Center. Building administrators may also assist with transportation-related questions.

Forms

As we prepare for this upcoming school year. The transportation department has asked for parents/guardians to communicate any special requests for the 2024-2025 school year no later than August 1, 2024.
