Established Walking Distances
Preschool - No transportation provided.
Kindergarten-5th Grade: 0.5 miles
6th - 8th grades: 1.50 miles
9th-12th grades: 2.0 miles
The measurement of walking distance shall be determined by taking the most direct driving route possible from the school drop off to the pickup location.
The District will allow exceptions to the distance radius as outlined provided that there is space on a first come, first serve basis when space is available on the bus for in-boundary schools only (only exception is for students who have a sibling in a specialized program to meet their needs on an IEP that is not served in their in-boundary school). It is also possible to lose this opportunity for behavior, attendance, and/or space issues that arise after permission has been granted.

Pick Up Times
If your child is assigned to ride the bus, transportation will notify the parents/guardian prior to school start with an estimated pickup time. This is only an estimate and can vary the first few weeks of school as additional riders may be added or deducted to routes. Please, have your students at the designated bus stop 5 minutes before the estimated time given.
