Bus Rules
Parents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the bus rules and review them with their children. We also recommend parents work cooperatively with the bus driver to ensure the safety of the students on the bus.
Per Delaware State Law, students in grades KN-6th grade have a 1-mile walk zone from their school and students in grades 7-12 have a 2-mile walk zone. These students living in these walk zone areas do not qualify for transportation.
PreK and Kindergarten students MUST have a parent/guardian at the bus stop to receive their child. Please see the PreK/Kindergarten Parent Letter for more details.
