Review all of the TD3 Transportation Web Pages with your child(ren).Go over the Zero Tolerance program with your child(ren). Ensure they know why these rules are in place and how important it is to follow them.
Do not allow your child to go out to the bus stop with prohibited items, such as; glass items, animals, insects, reptiles (alive or dead), skateboards, etc. For a complete list of prohibited items, see the Zero Tolerance Plan.
Ensure your child is at the bus stop between 5 and 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Earlier arrivals by students usually lead to mischief, and therefore, complaints from nearby residents.
If your child stays after school or misses the regular bus home, the late bus should be available to take him or her home. Late bus stops for elementary students are the same as their regular bus stops. Late bus stops for middle school students may be different, as we have fewer late bus stops than regular stops.
Give your child a note if they need to take a different bus. The school office must approve the note before your child rides the different bus.
Give your child a note if they need to get off at a different bus stop than which they are assigned. This note can be given directly to the driver, without the school office approving it.
Please, do not confront a driver at the bus stop or at the school about a problem. If you have concerns, call the Transportation Office at 480-350-9006. Press 2 for the Transportation Department, then press 0 to speak with a staff member.
Non-student passengers are not authorized on the bus. Please do not send friends along to ride the bus with your child. Parents may not board the school bus.
