Standard Procedures & Safety

Standard Busing Procedures

  • Students may be released only at the school and designated stops.
  • Students should only be released to an authorized person when directed to do so by the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP). (Some students will not require an authorized person to receive them at their stops.)
  • When no one is available to receive the student, the driver will:
    • Contact the transportation company to contact the parent
    • Deliver other students then return to the stop, if possible
    • Return to the school and inform school personnel of the situation
  • It is not the responsibility of the bus attendant or driver to escort the student beyond the drop‐off location, unless directed to do so by the student’s IEP.
  • Students should not be carried up or down the bus steps during loading and unloading. If a student cannot navigate the bus steps without a reasonable degree of assistance, an alternate loading and unloading plan will be established by school personnel.
  • If a student doesn’t know whether they are being picked up by a parent/guardian or taking the bus on any given day, the school will default to directing the student to take the bus.

At School

Arrival Procedures:

Buses will drop off students in the bus lane at the back of the school at 7:40 a.m. Students will proceed to their homerooms where breakfast is served this year.

Dismissal Procedures:
Buses will begin to be called over the PA system at 3:30 p.m. Buses will depart from the school at 3:45 p.m. If you have any questions regarding routes and times, please contact Transline (504) 453-1816.

Pickup & Drop Off

Pickup & Drop Off Locations

The transportation company creates pickup/drop off locations and routes based on the safety of students and route efficiencies. Buses will pickup/drop off students at corner stops, community stops with other students, and sometimes at houses. Buses are unable to make house pickups/drop offs for each student and cannot make house pickups/drop offs within apartment building complexes, cul-de-sacs, or other space confined locations.

If you have questions for regarding your child’s route, please contact the school’s office.

Early Pickup

One-Time Circumstances

If you need to pick your student up one day instead of having them ride the bus, please inform the school’s office by 2:30 p.m. that day and pick your student up using the Driveline procedures.

If this is the first time you are picking up your student, you will need to stop by the front office as your student will not be released until you receive a Driveline tag. The front office will then direct you to the pickup route. The Driveline tag is yours for the rest of the year and must be used every time you pick your student up.

Address Change

Permanent Change of Address

Did you move? Will your student be going to afterschool care at another location? Please fill out the Bus Request Form at least one week prior to the change. If you are unable to give advanced notice, please plan an alternative way to get your child to and from school for three days until the school is able to process your request.
