Bus Riders: Students who live in the Elberta Elementary district are eligible to ride a bus to and from school. Students will be assigned to a bus based on the student’s home residence. Transportation methods should be consistent, and students will not be transported to alternate locations (friend’s/relative’s homes, daycares, businesses, or after-school activities). Students may not be dropped off at a different location. Due to limited seating on buses, students may not ride home on a bus other than their assigned bus. The school bus operates on a definite schedule and cannot wait for tardy students.
Buses will arrive on campus at approximately 7:10 am. All bus riders will enter through the kindergarten hall and will eat breakfast or report directly to classrooms. Please refer to the bell schedule regarding dismissal times and waves.
Students should follow all bus rules and procedures as directed by administration and bus driver. Bus transportation is a privilege. Students not following procedures may be suspended from the bus. Parents or guardians will be held responsible for damage committed by the student. If any offense is serious enough to justify immediate action, admittance to the bus may be refused. Parents will be called and plans will be made to safely transport the student home. The principal or assistant principals will decide if and when the student will be permitted to ride the bus.
