The Rocky River City School District Transportation Department’s mission is to support the educational process by providing safe, friendly, and professional transportation services.
Bus transportation—the safest form of travel—is provided for students in grades K–8 within the Rocky River City Schools, based on each school’s designated transportation zone.
In accordance with Ohio law, all bus drivers complete specialized school bus training before transporting students. This includes 15 hours of classroom instruction and many additional hours of behind-the-wheel practice. In total, every driver—including substitutes—spends at least one month, and often more, preparing to become a certified school bus driver. Our training requirements exceed the state minimum.
Parents are encouraged to review the Bus Conduct Policy listed under the Transportation section, as it outlines expectations for student conduct while riding a school bus. To help enhance student safety, families may wish to partner with neighbors to share “watch” responsibilities so an adult is present at bus stops. Parents are also encouraged to remind their children of appropriate and safe behavior while riding the bus.
