Parent Information

Home-to-School Transportation Eligibility
Eligibility is determined by the student's current Individual Education Plan (IEP). Questions should be directed to the student's teacher or case manager. 

Pick-Up or Drop-Off Changes
Please be advised that it may take up to 3 business days for a student to be placed on a bus route once school has begun. Additionally, changes to pick-up and drop-off locations may take 3 business days to process and MUST be submitted to the Special Ed Office at your school. Your school will contact the Transportation Department in writing with the updated information. Please note that pick-up and drop-off times may change throughout the school year if there are ridership changes/adjustments.

Bus Waiting Time
Pick-Up: As morning pick-up follows a tight timeline, please be sure that your child is ready for pick-up at the assigned pick-up time. Buses will wait approx. 2 minutes before continuing on.

Drop-Off: If your child cannot be left alone, please be sure that a parent, guardian, or authorized individual is available upon drop-off. Our drivers are not able to call or text when the bus is on the way to your home. 

As school schedules often fluctuate, please be mindful of late start days, testing schedules, etc. Bell schedule information can be found on your school's website.

 

Coaches/Teachers/Advisors

Trip Submittal
Field trip requests shall be made utilizing our specialized website: https://www.fieldtriprequest.com/

Please contact your Activities Secretary if you do not have a username or password. 

All requests must be submitted at the same time that you submit the trip for Board approval.

In the event that your trip is not approved, you can simply cancel the trip. 

At minimum - all trips should be submitted 30 days prior to the event. This allows the Transportation Department to coordinate staff and buses accordingly. We have limited resources and must satisfy as many requests for transportation as possible.

Exceptions will be made for CIF Playoffs and games that have been rescheduled due to inclement weather.

Charter Bus Trips
Trips over 100 miles, during the school year, will require charter services. 

If we do not have the staff or bus resources to complete a trip in-house, the dispatcher will charter an outside company. Every effort is made to avoid this as charters can be significantly more costly by comparison.

The Transportation Department has several resources available including local school districts and contracted companies.

 ***Important*** If you would like to specifically request a charter bus, you MUST contact the Transportation Department to do so. Please reserve charters early (4-6 months ahead) due to limited availability and resources. Note: Board Policy AR 3541.1 states that all requests for charter services must go through the Transportation Department – this includes donated charter services. 

Last Minute Changes/Cancellations
Please notify your activities secretary immediately. If they are not available, please contact the Transportation Department directly. 

 

Activities Secretaries

Trip Submittal/Approval
Trips shall be submitted by teachers/coaches/advisers via www.fieldtriprequest.com.

The Activities Secretaries must review trips for accuracy and approve them in a timely manner.

Please contact the Transportation Department if you need to have an activity added to the trip request site or if you need assistance setting up a new user.
