Bus Rider Expectations

Bus Riders

Each eligible student is assigned to a morning bus run and afternoon bus run. Students may not ride any bus other than the assigned morning and afternoon bus. The Cabarrus County School Transportation Department has issued a statement declaring children ineligible to ride a school bus if they do not have an assigned seat. Due to this policy and maximum load capacity, we cannot accommodate 

special school bus transportation requests made by parents. Please do not send notes or make phone calls for this reason. Your child can only ride a school bus on which he/she has an assigned seat.
