SAFETY is the primary concern of the transportation department. Therefore we ask that all students and parents agree to do their part to keep the ride to and from school a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. With that in mind please remember, riding a school bus is a privilege.

If all the students remember the rules of common courtesy and obey the bus driver immediately, at all times, we will have a fun, safe year. However, failure on the part of the students to obey the driver or promote a safe bus environment could result in the loss of bus riding privileges.

Parents and students please read the following list of information. All who are transported with Basin School District are responsible to know the following:

1. The student is responsible to be on time for the bus. Being on time for the bus means that you will be at the stop five minutes before the scheduled leave time. The bus driver will leave students that are not on time for the bus.
2. If the student misses the bus they, or their “ride” need to take them to the next scheduled stop. For safety reasons the bus driver can not stop anywhere except at pre-approved stops.
3. Only approach the bus to load or unload.
4. If necessary to cross road at your stop, cross fifteen (15) feet in front of the bus and wait at the right edge of the roadway for a signal from the bus driver before proceeding into the traffic lanes.
5. Student may depart the bus only at their assigned stop unless they have written permission.
6. If you are going to ride on a bus that is not your assigned bus your parents/guardians need to contact the transportation department at least 24 hours in advance.

Please remember we are committed to not only the safety of those riding the bus, but all members of our community.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact the transportation department either by phone at 392-6747 or by e-mail at busbrn@aol.com

Looking forward to a safe, fun year!
