Frequently Asked Questions

Q. My child goes to or from an address other than home (ie. daycare, grandparent, babysitter). Can they ride the bus to or from a location other than our home?
A. If the location is within Fremont School District 79’s boundaries, children may ride the bus to that location. As long as your child has a set schedule, your child may ride the bus to desired location on set days of the week. For example, he or she may ride the bus on Tuesdays and Fridays every week. Parents must fill out a special busing request form first. Please contact the transportation office for the form.

Q. What if the location is not within FSD79's boundaries?
A. We do not bus students outside the district’s boundaries. 

Q. What if I want to pick up my student on a day he or she normally rides the bus?
A. Send a note to the teacher with your child stating that you will be picking him or her up after school. In the case of an emergency, call the school office so the staff can let the teacher know not to put your child on the bus.

Q. My middle school child occasionally stays after school. Are there late buses?
A. Middle school students who participate in clubs or are authorized to stay after school to study may ride the elementary bus home. We provide shuttle buses from the middle school to the elementary school every day just before the elementary school dismissal time (3:45 p.m. on normal dismissal days). Students should behave accordingly on elementary buses. Bus stops may not be the same as the middle school route. Because of space considerations, students in band, athletics, or plays are not allowed to ride the elementary buses home.
