Details

Children are supervised getting on and off the bus and safety is the top priority at all times.

Accountability for each rider will be managed by a Daily Log.

The email address listed on the registration form will be used for any notifications throughout the school year.

When there is a late start to public school due to weather, there will be no morning route that day.

A parent of each rider will fill out a registration form that includes home address, where the child will be riding to, parent contact information and a current photo for ID purposes.

Pick-up and drop off schedule will be based on enrollment in the program and the route established by Minnesota River Valley Transit staff.

Registration

Registrations made or received during the calendar week preceding the start of preschool may not receive service during the first week of school. This is necessary so that schedules can be set and provided to parents without last minute changes.
