When to use this form
Use this transportation form when families need bus service at the start of a term, after an address change, or for temporary needs like a new after-school program. It captures pick-up and drop-off locations, dates, and safety notes so your team can plan routes and assign stops without back-and-forth emails. Submit it for new enrollments, mid-year transfers, and students who need an alternate caregiver to meet the bus. If you also require explicit consent to ride, pair it with the Bus rider information & permission form. For families who limit directory details, note their preferences using the Directory information opt out form. The result: accurate rosters, safer rides, and fewer urgent calls on busy mornings.
Must Ask Student Transportation Questions
- What is the student's full name, grade, school, and student ID?
These fields uniquely identify the rider and prevent mix-ups with students who have similar names. Matching your SIS and route lists speeds approvals and reduces manual follow-up.
- What is the primary home address and any alternate pick-up or drop-off addresses and days?
Exact locations and when they apply let you assign the closest safe stop and build accurate schedules. If school records need updating, submit a Student records request form.
- Who are the authorized pick-up adults and emergency contacts, with phone numbers?
Drivers and dispatch use this to verify release at the stop and reach someone quickly if plans change. Clear authorization reduces delays and keeps students safe.
- Does the student have medical, mobility, or safety needs the driver should know?
Allergies, mobility devices, or behavior plans inform seating, stop placement, and response in an emergency. Sharing only what is necessary supports compliance and student dignity.
- Do you consent to bus transportation and to sharing necessary trip details with the district's transportation provider?
Written consent reduces disputes and documents the family's preferences. If third parties need access to records beyond directory information, request a FERPA Waiver form.
