Your assistance is requested to complete this form EACH YEAR for each child. In order for GO Riteway to have accurate and efficient routes, we need to know which eligible students plan to ride the bus. Any stop that is not the student's home address is NOT rolled over from year to year. Please complete this form whenever a transportation change is requested. Additional questions may be directed to GO Riteway at 608-881-6370.
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
*All requests MUST be submitted by August 2nd in order to ensure transportation on the first day of school. All other requests must allow two weeks from the beginning of school or two weeks after the request is submitted, whichever is greater.
* Free transportation is provided to students who live two or more miles from their boundary school. In very limited circumstances, transportation may be able to be accommodated for students residing less than two miles from school.
* Open enrolled, tuition, or other non-resident students may ride the bus provided that they board at an established stop that is two or more miles away from the school of attendance.
* For those students who have completed and received approval for a Boundary Exemption to attend a school other than their boundary school, transportation is the responsibility of the parents/guardians.
* Students are only allowed to ride their assigned bus route. For safety purposes, bus drivers will not discharge students anywhere other than the student’s assigned bus stop unless written authorization is provided from school authorities (any temporary stop must be on the same route and must be an existing stop).
* No more than two stops may be scheduled for pickup or drop off. The daily stops MUST be the same from week to week. For safety purposes, no alternating week stops will be accommodated.
* Routes are developed so that in most cases student travel time will not be longer than 75 minutes. Buses generally do not arrive at school more than 30 minutes before school starts.
* Special education and special education early childhood transportation that is part of an Individualized Education Plan is set up through the Special Education Office. Do not use this form, please contact your child's IEP manager.
*Pre-School Transportation is coordinated through the PreSchool Request Form
*Do not submit address changes on this form. All address changes must go through the registrar’s office or your child’s school.
