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.
