Richland School District 2009-10 bus schedules will be published in the Tri-City Herald on Sunday, August 30. The District decided to take the bus routes off the web site as a safety precaution. It has to do with predators having access to the Internet and, consequently, having access to where and when buses are picking up kids. We realize that these kinds of individuals can read it in the Herald, but, at least, we won't make it easy for them by keeping it posted on our web site. Unfortunately, by taking this precaution, we deny this information to parents like you who want it for legitimate reasons. If you have questions about bus routes, call 967-6155.

Students are expected to be at designated bus stops at least five minutes early. Please review School Bus Rules and Conduct featured in the 2009-10 Calendar & Parent Guide (October page) or click on the link below.

Parents of kindergartners can expect the bus driver to call with mid-day transportation information one or two days before transportation begins for kindergartners. If you have not heard from your bus driver, parents of AM kindergartners should be prepared to receive their students from the bus for one full hour after release time. Parents of PM kindergartners should have their students ready for the bus one full hour before school starts. When the bus arrives, you will have the opportunity to touch base with your driver about the daily estimated arrival time.
