Bus Service

If your family plans to sign up for bus service, please sign up by August 8. A new form is required each year. Please note the following:

There could be times when bus service isn't available due to driver availability.
Students riding full-time will be given preference for a seat on the bus. Otherwise, it is first-come, first-served.
To make our routes this year, we will be working with First Transportation Solutions. Their software will help us make the most of our limited resources and minimize the time students will spend on the bus. We will continue to make the most of group stops to expedite service.
Families will be contacted by their driver or the transportation coordinator prior to school beginning to coordinate bus stops and approximate times.

Transportation Pricing

Pricing will be based on the number of riders per family.

AM and PM : one student - $1,000 per year
AM or PM : one student - $700 per year
AM and PM : 2+ students - $1,600 per year
AM or PM : 2+ students - $1,100 per year

Full-year pricing will be prorated if service becomes unavailable for more than 10% of the school year.

Financial aid will be capped at 40% of expense.

The school retains the right to suspend or dismiss from ridership any student whose conduct is deemed unsatisfactory or whose influence does not service the best interest of the school. In the event of a suspension or dismissal, no refund of the bus fee will be made.

WHY RIDE THE BUS?
BUS SAFETY TIPS

WHY RIDE THE BUS?

They're safe.

That recognizable yellow school bus just might be your child’s ticket to the safest ride to and from Canterbury School. Yellow school buses are a great American success story. Reports show that they are the safest vehicles on the highway, and national studies indicate they're about 2,000 times safer than the family car.

They benefit our school and community.

Increased bus ridership decreases the number of cars on our roads.
There's no waiting in car pool lines.
Decreased traffic congestion, idling time, and smog-forming emissions are reduced, protecting the environment.
Poor air quality hurts children to a greater extent than many other populations.

BUS SAFETY TIPS

Tips for safely riding the bus:

Stay out of the danger zone: So that the driver can see you, always stand at least five giant steps (10 feet) away from the bus and never cross behind it.
Never try to pick up anything that falls under the bus – always tell the driver.
Stay a safe distance from the road while waiting for the bus.
When you get on or off the bus, make sure the bus safety lights are flashing.
Be alert to traffic. When getting on of off the bus, look left, right then left again before crossing the street.
Wait for the driver to say if is safe to cross the street, and always cross in front of the bus.
Stay in your seat and talk quietly, so the driver is not distracted.

General questions about Bus Service or Bus Service Billing should be emailed to J ennie Crandal. Once routes have been established and students are assigned to bus drivers, you will direct route, pick up/drop off questions to your bus driver.
