Generally, service is implemented within five business days, when existing stops/services are used. If the service request will require an additional bus, new bus stop, new route or extensive modification to a route, implementation could take up to 10 days. You will receive an email notification once your student’s bus assignment is finalized. Your student’s bus assignment and stop information will be added to your student’s PowerSchool Transportation Page.
Transportation recognizes the need for parents to have access to a stop other than their home-to-school bus stop. The primary purpose of the alternate bus stop is to provide needed transportation for general education students in split custody households or to childcare/daycare/afterschool care locations within the attending school attendance zone. There is no guarantee that the request will be approved simply because the form was submitted. Transportation will be verifying that there is room on the bus and that the stop falls along the existing route path. Excluding split households, services must be for 5 days a week.
Hanover County Public Schools Regulation 4-4.2(A) requires an adult to be present to discharge a 2nd grade or younger student from the bus. This form is an electronic request to allow your child (K-2) to exit the school bus without a guardian or parent being present. Your request for a release waiver will be evaluated by the Department of Transportation.
If your release waiver is approved, you will be required to visit your child's school to sign the approved waiver. A transportation official will contact you with an effective start date.
You are submitting a request to review or assess a bus stop for safety.
The safety of all school bus stops are evaluated with the understanding that the parent/guardian (or other adult) will provide age-appropriate supervision for their student(s) at the bus stop.
