Bus Riders

Bus transportation is provided for students in grades K-6 who live more than one mile from the school or when an unsafe situation exists. School bus riders in Fairfax County are required to observe rules of safety and good citizenship while riding on a bus and while waiting at a designated bus stop. Standards for safe, courteous conduct will be in effect beginning with the first day of school. It is essential that bus riders cooperate and adhere to the bus regulations. All children will receive a copy of Regulations for Pupils Riding School Buses. All parents are requested to review information with children and return their assigned buses each day unless parents notify the classroom teacher in writing of alternate arrangements.
