Bussing Guidelines
Parents/Guardians,
Every year questions are asked regarding transportation. Please note in the below policies that elementary students who live beyond 1.5 miles from the school are eligible to ride the bus. Those students who qualify to ride a bus are to be dropped off and picked up at their regularly assigned bus stop. Transporting students to daycare or non-related school activities is not allowed.
There must be a minimum of ten students for an established bus route. If students qualify for a bus and the route does not meet this requirement, a bus will not be provided. In this situation, parents may be reimbursed for transporting their child/children.
We appreciate our Transportation Department and the fabulous work they do. If you would like to review our busing policies and procedures, you can locate this on Weber School District’s website under Departments/Transportation.
