To help create more efficient and reliable bus routes for our students, the district will require families to register for bus transportation. This process will allow us to better understand ridership needs, optimize routes, and improve overall service for students and families. Families will be able to sign up at any time.
Efficient bus routes require constant development. Our drivers will be surveying the existing route ridership and may need to shift stops and bus numbers as ridership increases or decreases. Our highest priority is safety, but we also strive to transport your students in the most efficient and timely fashion.
If you have any issues that have not been resolved with Doherty's or a student safety concern, please contact: hwtransport@hwschools.net.
HWRSD Student Transportation Policy
Late Bus for Middle and High School Students
The late bus will run on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. It will depart from the middle school at 3:30 pm. Stops are determined by the addresses of the students on board, so drop-off times will vary each day.
Ideas:
"Walking School Bus” -A walking school bus (WSB) is a safe and fun way for children to get physical activity as they travel to and from school with adult supervision. Each “bus” walks along a set route with one or more adults leading it, picking children up at designated stops along a predetermined route and walking them to school. The process is reversed in the afternoons on the way home. It is that simple. Some families may have already done this with their children and would be happy to help more students get to school in this healthy, safe, and fun way.
Walk & Bike to School - Walking and bicycling to school enables children to incorporate the regular physical activity they need each day while also forming healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Regular physical activity helps children build strong bones, muscles, and joints, and it decreases the risk of obesity. In contrast, insufficient physical activity can contribute to chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and stroke.
