Acknowledgment
PRSD Responsibility:
PRSD shall provide safe and reliable transportation for students while being transported to and from school. We recognize the vital role parents play in the safe transportation of students, and have developed operating procedures to identify the responsibilities for communication and co-operation between the parents/guardians, school, and transportation services.
Parent Responsibilities:
a) Parents/guardians with the help of school staff and/or the bus driver may arrange "bus buddies" for students who require them
b) It is recommended that Parents/Guardians or a responsible designate accompany and remain with younger student(s) at the bus stop.
c) Parents/Guardians or a responsible designate should ensure students are at the stop 3-5 minutes prior to pick time. Bus Drivers may leave the stop at the stated time, to ensure students arrive at school in a timely manner.
d) Drivers will not knowingly leave a child unattended at a stop, but recognize that a spare driver may not know your child or with a large group there is not always acknowledgement of who goes with whom.
e) A note is required to be submitted to the school prior to boarding a school bus the child is not registered on. Bus drivers are not required to transport students who are not registered for their route.
f) No person shall bring on the bus the following item(s): animals (except “guide dog”), firearms, explosives, combustible materials or substances or anything of dangerous or objectionable nature or that might endanger the lives or safety of persons in the bus.
Please accept the following two terms...
As a parent/guardian requesting transportation services for my child who is named above, I hereby agree to abide by PRSD Transportation Policy 8.31, section 'School Bus Rider Policy'. I further realize that the services provided are a privilege, not a right and may be suspended or withdrawn in the event I and/or my child fail to abide by the rules.
I have been made aware of and fully understand that I am ultimately responsible to get my child to and from the bus stop safely or to provide a responsible designate. It is my sole responsibility to inform the PRSD in a timely manner of address changes, drop off changes, health changes or any other changes that may affect the safe transportation of my child.
Responsible Designate

I authorize those person(s) named below to receive my child (named above) in my absence and I understand that it is the responsibility of me or my designate listed below to receive my child at the designated stop.
