TRANSPORTATION IS A PRIVILEGE - POLICY AND GUIDELINES

Getting your child to and from school safely is important to us!

The regulations listed in board policy 443.2/rule are to be used as a guide in determining proper behavior on school buses and protection of students riding the bus in accordance with section 121.52(2) of the state statutes. Safe transportation of school children is a joint responsibility. Drivers, school authorities, students, and parents must all cooperate in order to assure safe, comfortable transportation. 

Bus transportation is provided to all children living outside of the village limits.  Little Prairie and Prairie View students living within the village may ride the bus if the route to school is determined to be hazardous (described on right).  Transportation requests for new students can be made during online enrollment. For existing students or if you already completed online enrollment, call the transportation office at 262-642-6710 x5901 to request transportation.

Annual Reminders

• Routes are subject to minor changes.
• Please arrive at the bus stop 10 minutes before the posted pick-up.
• During the first few days of the new school year, bus drivers are adapting schedules to accommodate the needs of our families.
• The safety of students is our first priority.  Digital cameras are posted on all buses. The cameras monitor activity on the bus. If there is a concern, the camera recordings are reviewed by school administrators.
• Please allow three business days to implement any requests for changes to bus assignments.   

At the beginning of the school year, please be sure to:

• Request all transportation needs by calling the transportation office at (262) 642-6710 x5901 or complete and return a transportation request form prior to the first day of school.  
• Have your elementary student's name and address in/on their backpacks.
• Have your child at the bus stop at least 10 minutes early since the route times are approximate due to new/withdrawn students. 

During the school year, please be sure to:

• Request transportation changes by calling the transportation office and notifying your child's elementary teacher.
• Have your child at the designated school bus stops on time. 
• Have your child ride on his/her assigned bus. Exceptions will not be made for play dates, etc.
