Student Transportation
Alsea School District manages bussing services for Alsea School. Services include bus service to and from school, field trips, athletic activities, and school related events. We want to ensure that all students have a safe and pleasant ride every time they get on one of our busses.
We have three regular bus routes serving students each morning and afternoon.
How do I set up transportation for my student?
- Register your student for school. We will help you set up transportation during the registration process.
- Familiarize yourself with the following documents
- Contact Roxie Smallwood, Transportation Secretary in writing with any changes in transportation pick up or drop off locations. Contact Keenan Elbers, Transportation Supervisor with any questions or concerns.
Things to know
- Students are to be at bus stop 5 minutes prior to bus scheduled time.
- Students need parent/guardian permission to go anywhere other than their designated stop. Please send a note or call the school when your student is going somewhere other than where they usually go.
- Students under third grade will not be dropped off if driver believes no one is home.
- The driver must see a parent/guardian before they let students under first grade off of the bus.
- Students must always wait for their driver’s signal to enter or exit the bus or to cross the road.
Athletic Events
Transportation to and from athletic events is covered in the Alsea Athletic Policy. Drop off locations are True Value for East bound students, Tidewater Post Office for West bound students.
Key points to know are:
- Players may be released only to a parent or guardian after away contests, unless prior arrangements have been made.
Activity Transportation Release Form - Please sign your children out with the bus driver and ensure the coach knows you are taking them before leaving the event.
- IMPORATNT – Permission for a student to ride home with anyone other than their parents or guardians must be turned into the school office prior to the bus leaving Alsea School. Please send a note or email Roxie Smallwood, Transportation Secretary.
Inclement Weather
The safety of students is the primary consideration for any decision regarding school cancellation, delayed start, or district closure. Snow, floods, windstorms and more can affect our ability to safely get our students to and from school. We work hard to follow forecasts and check local conditions before we cancel or delay school.
In the event of disruptions to transportation services due to weather, Alsea School District will notify the public through FLASHALERT (automated phone call) and local media of school closings and/or delays. Specific bus routes affected would be specified in the announcements.
