Bus transportation – the safest form of transportation – is provided for Gr. K-8 students in the Rocky River City Schools, based on each school’s transportation zone.

As required by the state of Ohio, every bus driver attends special school bus training before transporting any of our students. The training consists of 32 hours in the classroom and 24 hours behind the wheel. In total, every bus driver – including substitutes – spends at least 3 weeks to one month training to be a school bus driver. The school division’s training actually exceeds the state’s minimum.

Parents are encouraged to read the Bus Conduct Policy listed under Forms to the right as it clearly outlines the conduct for all students while riding a school bus. To ensure the safety of our students, parents should consider sharing “watch” responsibilities with a neighbor so your children have an adult overseeing safety at their bus stops. Parents are encouraged to remind their children of acceptable behavior on a school bus.

School Transportation Child Care Request

If your child is eligible for transportation, but needs to be transported from or to a daycare location,  please download and complete the School Transportation Child Care Request Form (Forms on the right). You may email (maimone.kay@rrcs.org), fax 440-356-6079 or mail it to the  RRCSD Transportation Department, 1101 Morewood Parkway, Rocky River, OH 44116.   Transportation is limited to facilities within Rocky River.


Student Transportation Space Available Request

If your home is not within the “busing area” (see "Walking Areas")  for the school your child attends RRCSD has a “space available” policy.  If seating is available on an established bus route in your area we will review the possibility of assigning your student on that bus.  Students will be assigned starting at the farthest point from school.
 
If your child is eligible for "Space Available" download and complete the Space Available form (Forms on the right).  You may email (maimone.kay@rrcs.org), fax 440-356-6079 or mail it to the RRCSD Transportation Department, 1101 Morewood Parkway, Rocky River,OH 44116.     You will receive a letter stating if we have or have not been able to accomodate your request.  Please note: Your child will be assigned to an existing stop. I will do my best to accommodate your student. 
This process takes at least 2 weeks from the start of school.  It will not speed the process if you call.
If your student does not ride the bus for a 10 day period we will remove his/her name and assign the seat to another student.
