Responsabilities

First Student is responsible for providing a bus stop according to the guidelines set forth by the LRSD. Transportation can only be provided from home to school and school to home. Your child’s safety is of paramount importance. Please keep in mind that parents are responsible for the child’s safety to and from the bus stop. Drivers are only allowed to make stops listed on their route sheets. It is very important for you not to make arrangements with drivers to have your child picked up or dropped off at an unauthorized bus stop. This could cause your child to miss the bus if there is a substitute driver.

All students are asked to be at the bus stop ten minutes before the scheduled pick up time.

First Student will provide transportation in accordance with Isaac’s Law. All students should be loaded and unloaded in a manner that does not require the student to cross a 4-lane road. Please report any violations to First Student so that we can review the situation. It may mean that your child is using the wrong stop. Any error on behalf of the driver will be corrected immediately.

Our bus drivers should never pick-up or discharge your child at a location other than where they have been assigned, unless the student has received a bus pass from the school.

Drivers are not allowed to amend their routes without permission from a member of First Student management.
