Bus Routes & Transportation

• Arrive 5 minutes prior to the scheduled bus departure time.
• Need to cancel transportation? Call the Kobussen at (608) 647-4446 to notify the driver.
• Students must get on and off the bus at the assigned bus stop.
• If your student wishes to get on or off the bus at another stop, with a friend or due to a special situation, please

Stop locations are determined by legality, safety, and efficiency. The overwhelming consideration in determining the location of bus stops is the safety of our students. Certain situations, such as sharp curves or hills, are avoided so drivers will have a clear view of a stopped bus and will be able to stop in time. Stops are placed in locations where they will provide a safe and convenient location for the most students while helping us route our buses in the most efficient manner possible.

If your child’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) specifies Special Transportation, or you believe that it should, please reach out to your Case Manager in the Special Education department. If you are unsure of your case manager, please contact the District Office: 608-647-6106.

The Danger Zone is the space all around the school bus. It extends out 10 feet (10 giant steps) in all directions. The School Bus Driver cannot see you in this zone. He or she cannot see you around the wheels either. It is very dangerous to be in the Danger Zone. 

If you have to cross the road: 

• Make eye contact with the driver.
• Wait for the driver to signal you when it is safe to cross.
• Be sure it is safe - Look left, right, then left again.
• NEVER CROSS BEHIND THE BUS.

1. Stay Seated, facing forward
2. Keep aisle clear
3. No eating or drinking (on routes)
4. Keep your hands to yourself
