Meeting Your Child at the Bus Stop
The Bellevue School District does not require that a parent or guardian meet regular program students (including kindergartners) at the bus stop, with the exception of the first week of school, when all Kindergarten students must be met by an adult or an older sibling.
If a parent or guardian would like their child to be met throughout the school year, the parent or guardian should inform the driver at the start of the school year.
In the event the parent or guardian is unable to meet the child because of unforeseen circumstances it is important that your child let the driver or school know. If your child is not met, they will be transported back to their school. If no one is available at the school, your child will be transported back to Transportation Department located at 12025 NE 5th Street.
Would you like to know when your student’s bus is going to be late? Bellevue School District Transportation is using the Edulog Parent Bus Tracking Program to notify parents and students if there are bus delays. For more information, or to sign-up and start receiving notifications, please visit the Edulog Parent Bus Tracking page.
If the District Changes Your Route
Routes change periodically throughout the school year. Current changes may not immediately appear online. You will receive notification from the district if there are any significant changes to your route. If the change is insignificant the driver will tell the student verbally.
If You Want to Change Your Route
When first starting to ride the bus, we allow parents to choose whichever route and stop are most convenient to get their child to and from school each day. However, once your route and stop are selected, parents are required to submit an Alternate Bus Stop Request Form (PDF) if they wish to make any changes.
