WHO IS AN ELIBGIBLE SCHOOL BUS RIDER IN THE RIVERTON SCHOOL DISTRICT? In order for any student to ride on a daily basis they must fall under one of the following guidelines: (1) live 1.5 miles or more from school, (2) distance of less than 1.5 miles when conditions are such that walking constitutes a serious hazard to the safety of the pupil due to vehicular traffic.
Parents, please have your child at the bus stop 10 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive.
THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL IS TUESDAY, JULY 29, 2008.
Kindergarten Transportation – Kindergarten students will ride their regular schedule to and from school.
Regular Routes – Hopefully our schedule will run close to that scheduled, but many times it varies during the first week of school. Please be patient.
Special Ed Routes – Students attending special classes in Springfield will depart from the high school at approximately 8:20am on a daily basis. Some will ride the regular high school bus to the high school; others close to Rt. 36 will be picked up at home by the bus on its way to Springfield.
Vocational Routes – Students attending CACC will depart from the high school daily at approximately 11:55am. These students will return at approximately 3:15pm and will ride the after-school buses home.
