Bus stops are placed at centralized locations that can be safely accessed by a significant number of students, and to minimize the ride time and mileage of the route. If you have concerns about your child's safety, you are encouraged to accompany your child to the bus stop or arrange for a neighborhood buddy to walk with them. The Home-to-Stop distances are as follows: elementary-aged students (PK - 5) may be required to walk up to .25 miles to their assigned bus stop. Middle school and high school students may be required to walk up to .50 miles to their assigned bus stop.
