Department Policy

  

Cell Phone Policy
The Department of Transportation realizes cell phones can be a useful item in today’s world but also believes that as with all modern devices there is a time and a place for cell phones. The Department of Transportation's first and foremost concern is the safety of passengers as well as other motorists traveling on the roadways. The Department asks that students refrain from using cell phones while on the school bus. Willful disregard of the driver’s request to shut off or not use the cell phone will result in disciplinary action by the driver, Transportation Director, and/or school administration.

Overcrowding Policy
Because of school bus over-crowding, it is necessary to limit the rider ship to only those students registered and assigned to that particular route. Please do not send a note with your child asking to ride the bus or to bring a friend home on the bus.

Any student who misses his assigned bus should report to the school office and call parents for a ride.

Permissible Items Policy
The St. Vrain Valley School District Transportation Services does not allow students to bring the following items on the school bus: roller blades, skate boards, and/or scooters. Safety and available space are foremost in transporting students. Please share this information with your children and make other arrangements to transport these items if your child needs them for school activities. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.
