Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions:

What If I'm Not Going To Make It Home To Receive My Student?
If necessary, have someone meet your child at his/her assigned stop, or make arrangements to have your child picked up at the elementary school.

Does the District Provide Transportation to And From Licensed Daycare Centers Within The Orchard Park Central School District Boundaries?
The District will be providing transportation to and from licensed daycare centers even if it is outside of your elementary school zone.

Can My Child Ride a Different Bus If I Need Them To Go To A Different Location?
Students may only ride the bus to which they are assigned. Accountability is a major issue with transportation. We need to know what students are on every bus in case there should be an accident or emergency. Due to the number of students in the district, there is no way for transportation or the schools to keep track of daily changes. If there is an emergency, you must contact the transportation department for approval.

Could my child’s bus stop change?
Bus stops are subject to change at any time due to time restrictions and locations.
