Bus Transportation

 
Cypress School District provides transportation to and from school in the following situations:
  1. Students in grades K-3 living more than ¾ mile and students in grades 4-6 living more than 1 mile from their home school. This currently applies to certain students at Luther and Vessels. Designated stops are available for each of these school sites.

    Families complete a bus application online to request transportation from one of these designated stops. The application can be accessed on the Luther and Vessels websites under the “Parents” tab.

  2. Students with an IEP requiring bus transportation.

    Eligible students receive an application from the Special Education department.

  3. Students who qualify under the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, are in foster care, or meet the definition of low income and need transportation to and from school. Designated bus stops will be identified based on student need.

    Families contact their home school office, and the school office staff submits the form requesting transportation.

  4. Students who have been administratively transferred and need transportation to and from school.

    Families contact their home school office, and the school office staff submits the form requesting transportation.

 

Please remember . . .

 

Reporting Absences: If your child does not need bus transportation, please contact the transportation department at (714) 220-6950.

 

Pick-up / Drop-off:  Students must be at their designated pick-up stop and ready to board at their scheduled pick-up time.  Students who are not met at drop-off will be returned to their school.

 

Route/Times:  Pick-up and drop-off times may be adjusted throughout the year if there is an increase or decrease in the number of students on the same bus route.

 

Pick-up/Drop-off Address Changes:  Changes to a student's pick-up or drop-off address may take up to three days to implement.

 

Personal items:  Make sure all sweaters, jackets, backpacks, and other personal items are marked with the student's name. Any unmarked items left on the bus will be kept for one week and then donated to a charitable organization.
