Important things to know about the Regional Transportation program this year, due to COVID 19
 
  • The school priority is to provide the safest experience possible for students and bus drivers.
  • Seats on the bus will be assigned on a first come, first served basis, depending on the registration date/time stamp, with preference given to in-district students.

As Always: A seat on the bus one year does NOT guarantee you a seat on the bus the next year. In the event a family has an outstanding, past balance with any FRCS fee-based program, they will be contacted by the Business Office for follow-up.


Reminder:  The online application is NOT supported by mobile sites and apps. Please make sure to fill out on a desktop or laptop computer! 


2020-2021 Fees:  The fees for regional bus service for the 2020-2021 school year will be determined as we move forward. An email will be sent to families who have Pre Registered for bus service.

 

Please contact Jean Lewis, Transportation Coordinator via email with any questions

Please Note: All routes are subject to change.
Next steps 

Upon receipt of your child(ren)'s bus assignment, you will be asked to activate and confirm your child(ren)'s seat assignment within 7 business days. This will include submitting a deposit payment of $200 plus a $25 non-refundable application fee. (Any credit with the Business Office from the previous year can be applied to future program fees. Such a credit in itself does not guarantee you a seat on a bus or particular bus.) Please know, all families will have the opportunity to apply for financial assistance through the FRCS Business Office. A seat on a bus one-year does NOT guarantee a seat on the bus the following year. ALL families must re-apply each year and meet all requirements to secure transportation for the new school year.

Seats will be issued on a first come, first served basis with preference given to in-district students.
Bus Conduct and Discipline Guidelines

We are pleased to offer school bus privileges for the upcoming school year. A school bus is an extension of school itself and the same code of conduct with appropriate consequences will apply for bus misbehavior as they do in school. School bus safety is a primary concern of F.R.C.S. and F.R.C.S. reserves the right to take whatever action is necessary to maintain a high level of safety. The right of a pupil to school bus transportation is a qualified right, dependent on appropriate behavior. In cases where a pupil seriously or continuously violates the code of conduct, parents will be notified by the School and the bus pass will be revoked if, in the opinion of the School, such action is necessary for the general safety and wellbeing of other students.

Return Trip Information
 
Students in Kindergarten, Grade 1 & 2 will NOT be left at a bus stop unattended. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to meet the bus on time to pick up your children. If you are unable to meet the bus on time to pick up your children please make the necessary arrangements to have someone pick them up in your place so they are safe and supervised at all times. 
 
A Note From Home is required if child(ren) is not taking the bus. It is the responsibility of the family to inform the school of any change in dismissal. Bus students are presumed to be taking the bus each afternoon unless otherwise directed. Such changes must be submitted daily – blanket notes covering long term changes to dismissal will NOT be recognized.
