Students and Parents/Guardians

We are proud to be able to offer your students the convenience and safety of public transportation to and from school and to extracurricular events. We are dedicated to providing the safest and most reliable transportation possible. Loud, disruptive, and distracting behavior poses a danger to students and drivers as well as the general public operating on public roadways and we ask that you assist us by setting high expectations for your student’s behavior in this regard.

The standards of behavior outlined in the CCPS Code of Student Conduct and the following additional transportation rules and regulations will apply to all students anytime they are utilizing any form of CCPS Transportation Services including buses, vans, or any other vehicle approved to provide transportation for students. Utilizing CCPS Transportation Services is a privilege and students shall follow the additional rules outlined in this document. Disciplinary consequences resulting from failure to follow these simple safety regulations may result in revocation of riding privileges and/or suspension from school depending upon the severity of violation.
Pre-K-4th Grade Students only: Parents/guardians or a designee of students in preschool through the fourth grade must appear at the bus stop each morning and afternoon to load and receive PreK-4 students. The designee may include an adult (designated in writing) or a sibling (5th grade or older. If you or your designee is not present to receive your child in the afternoon, the bus driver will bring your child back to the school. Failure to take possession of your Pk-4th grade student may result in the loss of transportation services.

One Address for Pick-up and Drop-off

One Address for Pick-up and Drop-off

Because of safety responsibilities and routing efficiency CCPS will continue using one address (the family's primary address) for both pickup and drop of students. We cannot secure multiple seats on different buses for students because of the potential of overloading seating capacity and then creating unsafe conditions on the bus. Also, providing multiple seats on different buses compromises our ability to account for each student on a bus accurately.
