Please note that at the beginning of the school year we do experience higher-than-normal volume of calls but someone in Transportation will answer your call. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We are always looking for a few good bus drivers!

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. Staff at your child’s school can assist you with determining if your child will ride the bus to school or if you live in a non-transportation zone.

As required by the Commonwealth of Virginia, every bus driver attends special school bus training before transporting any of our students. The training consists of a minimum of 24 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 exceeds the state’s minimum requirements.

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.
