National Trail Schools
Bus Pass Policies/Procedures 1. No bus passes for HS students.
2. Middle School students are discouraged from requesting bus passes due to HS/MS buses
running at full capacity. Buses will not be overloaded to accommodate bus pass requests.
3. All bus pass requests for Elementary and Middle School students must be in writing and
signed by parent or guardian.
4. All bus pass requests must be received and approval by school administration and will
depend on seating availability on buses.
5. For the safety of all students, bus pass requests over the phone are not verifiable and will
not be accepted.
6. Students denied bus passes will be transported on their regular route buses to their regular
bus stop location. Students will be given the opportunity to call to inform parents their
passes have been denied.
As always, it is strongly recommended that you have a back-up plan in place should your child
arrive home to find that no one is there or the house is locked. Go over your back-up plan with
your child so they know where to go and what to do if they find themselves in this situation.
Your plan should include a neighbor, friend, or relative your child can call on to stay with until
you arrive to get them.
