One-day passes will be issued to students to provide transportation to a licensed childcare provider, Acton-Boxborough Community Education program, or to a pre-scheduled bus stop location on the bus routes servicing the elementary school provided that:
• There is contact information of a parent or guardian of an ABRSD student prepared to take responsibility for the student(s).
• There is sufficient seating on the bus.
• The bus pass form is filled out completely and correctly.
• The bus pass form is submitted by 2 PM the day before the change is to take place.
• The age of the applicable student is Grade 2 or above.
• If bus passing to a licensed childcare provider or AB Community Education program, someone must be present to meet the bus and receive the students.
Parents or guardians must sign a release of liability waiver at the beginning of the school year to participate in bus passing. Bus routes will not be altered to accommodate for bus passing. All schools will use the same bus passing form.
Childcare providers, or private individuals receiving students, are responsible for these students once they exit the bus.
Information relative to bus numbers, bus routes, and bus stops can be obtained from the Transportation Department section of the school district website at http://www.abschools.org/departments/facilities-transportation.
The elementary school offices, in consultation with the Transportation Office, reserve the right to deny the issuance of bus passes.
