Transportation Agreement
1. Daily transportation to and from school will be provided (transportation fee) to HIS students living within a reasonable distance to our campuses. This does not include before or after school activities.
2. Transportation arrangements typically take up to one week to finalize. A transportation form must be submitted to each campus five days prior to the start of services. Parents will communicate with the campus transportation assistant to finalize details.
3. HIS will first try to arrange a pick-up at or near the child’s housing complex. In housing developments where a number of families and students live in close proximity, HIS may arrange for a centrally located pick-up/drop-off location within or near the development. In some instances in which students live in more isolated areas, parents may be asked to transport students to and from designated pick-up and drop-off points.
4. To help ensure on time arrival at school, busses will wait for two minutes after the assigned pick-up time before moving to the next pick-up point.
5. The school will provide parents with the approximate drop-off time and location after school. Parents are responsible for daily supervision arrangements when a child arrives at the designated drop-off (i.e. meeting a young child at the drop-off location, providing children with house keys, training the child what to do if the parent is not at the drop-off point, etc.).
6. Traffic, city events, and accidents may disrupt a child’s busing, but this does not constitute HIS’s inability to fulfill its transportation obligation.
7. HIS must be notified in writing of any changes to a parent’s transportation request. If you plan to alter your child's routine for a special occasion, before or after school activity, etc., you must provide a written note to the school office for that day's change.
8. Bus space is limited and is reserved for the transportation of HIS students. Our busses stop only at HIS arranged drop-off points and any change in bus schedule or route must be facilitated through the transportation office.
9. All issues and questions related to bus transportations should be directed to the campus transportation office or the school principal.
10. HIS, the officers, and teachers are released from liability whatsoever arising from the student’s participation in HIS-contracted busing.
11. Violation of, or failure to comply with, bus rules can result in disciplinary action consistent with HIS policies. In serious cases, a student’s bus service may be terminated.
