Transportation Safety Precautions
Safety precautions remain a priority on all Highland school buses throughout the year.
- Use of assigned seating on each bus route
- Buses cleaned and disinfected regularly
- Students are only permitted to ride their assigned bus. If a change is needed due to childcare, parent must complete the required FORM. Please note, any change will take 72 hours to process. Student(s) will not be permitted to ride other buses for the purpose of visiting friends.
We also ask that parents perform a wellness check on their child(ren) prior to boarding the bus in the morning. If not feeling well, we ask that you do not send your student(s) to school.
Any questions regarding bus routes or other transportation information, please call (330) 239-1901, ext. 1219. Thank you for your cooperation.
