Bus transportation is provided for kindergarten students living more than a half mile from school. Students in grades 1 through 5 must live one mile or more away. Students in special education or students with medical issues not meeting distance requirements may be allowed to use school transportation or busses under some circumstances. Riding the bus is a privilege and not a right. Students who do not follow the Student Bus Conduct Code will be referred to the Administration. Serious or repeated violations may result in the loss of privilege to ride the bus. Please refer any questions to the Portland Public Transportation Department.
For the safety of all students in the district, our Transportation Department cannot accommodate requests for students to ride a bus other than their own. We appreciate your understanding.
