School Bus Schedules and Transportation Information
2007-2008
Bus transportation – the safest form of transportation – is provided for Virginia Beach City Public Schools’ students to and from school, based on each school’s transportation zone. Your school principal will assist you with determining if your child will be riding the bus to school.
As required by the state of Virginia, every bus driver attends special school bus training before transporting any of our students. The training consists of 32 hours in the classroom and 24 hours behind the wheel. In total, every bus driver – including substitutes – spends at least 3 weeks to one month training to be a school bus driver. The school division’s training actually exceeds the state’s minimum.
Parents are encouraged to read the Code of Student Conduct as it clearly outlines the conduct for all students while riding a school bus. To ensure the safety of our students, parents should consider sharing “watch” responsibilities with a neighbor so your children have an adult overseeing safety at their bus stops. Parents are encouraged to remind their children of acceptable behavior on a school bus.
