Student Transportation Request Form

(Current Bus Riders)

Dear Parent or Guardian:

In order to prepare for the 2012-13 school year, we require some information from you regarding your student’s transportation needs. In order to provide the most efficient use of our school bus resources, we require all parents and guardians to confirm their transportation even if the student rode the bus to school this past school year.

Please complete this form and return it to your child’s school by August 20, 2012.

·  Address is not necessarily where the bus stop will be. Montgomery County Schools stop determination is made in accordance with NC State Board of Education recommendations and state law.

·  Alternate stops for school administration pre-approved childcare or other pre-approved addresses only.

Parents/guardians who fail to request school bus transportation for their child in advance may not be provided transportation at the last minute. If parents sign up a child to ride just prior to school opening, they may have to provide their own transportation to school until space can be obtained---this might not occur until 1-2 weeks after school has started! Creating a space requires shuffling buses and changing other students’ pickup and drop-off times. In the past, students who were not pre-registered to ride a bus (and then later signed up) created delays, unsafe overloads and hardships for children and other parents who had pre-registered.

If the registration process is completed early, however, bus runs will be accurate and the above-mentioned inconveniences will not occur.

Please complete this form and return it to your child’s school by August 20, 2012.

In order to provide the most efficient use of our school bus resources, we require all parents and guardians to confirm transportation even if your child rode this past school year.

Student stop information will be furnished at the beginning of school at your school’s open house.

If you have any questions regarding your child’s transportation, please telephone the Montgomery County Schools Transportation Department at 910-576-4281 or send an email to or the completed form may be faxed at 910-576-2044.
