Transportation FAQ:
- Can bus stop locations be outside of the school district boundaries?
- No. We only transport students within the Bentley Community School District.
- How do I arrange bus transportation for my student?
- Before a school session begins, arrangements must be made during the Online Registration phase of a student's enrollment into the schools.
- After a school session begins, arrangements must be made by contacting the Transportation Administrative Assistant.
- Will bus stop locations for students be directly in front of their home address?
- Sometimes. We typically only provide door-to-door service for preschoolers, kindergarteners, or students who have complicated medical needs. Otherwise, bus stop locations will be placed nearby within the neighborhood of the address specified.
- Why does my student need to be at the bus stop 5 minutes early?
- Early Arrival: Not all scheduled students ride everyday, especially on bad weather days. This may cause some stops to be skipped, therefore causing stops later along the route to occur earlier than planned.
- Early or Late Arrival: Unpredictable events like accidents, traffic, trains, weather, and other conditions may also cause stop times to occur earlier or later than planned due to rerouting or delays.
- How do I request a bus stop location change? For example: My student is dropped off in our neighborhood, but now needs to be dropped off at a child care facility.
- How will I be notified about bus stop location and time changes?
- We use your provided email address (for specific stop information) and mobile phone number (for general announcements). If at anytime your email address or mobile phone number changes, you can update them in ParentVUE or by contacting school offices .
- How do I cancel bus transportation for my student?
- We strongly encourage cancelling bus transportation if your student no longer requires it. Our buses are often near capacity and other students may need the seat.
- Parents/Guardians must cancel bus transportation by contacting the Transportation Administrative Assistant.
If you need any other transportation assistance, please contact the Transportation Administrative Assistant.
