The Lockport City School District
provides transportation for District residents in grades K-5
living at least one mile from DeSales, and
for 6-8th grade students living at least 1.5 miles from DeSales.
Busing is not provided for students in Pre-school. DeSales staff will
apply for transportation for all Lockport City School District
residents. Please be sure the DeSales Main office has your
correct address on file before April 1st. Bus routes and times
are announced at the end of August and are available to parents at the Annual Opening Picnic. Questions about busing can be directed
to Mr. Jim Caldwell at Ridge
Road Express (433-6777).
Bus service is also provided for out-of-district DeSales students (Starpoint,
Roy-Hart, Newfane, Akron, Medina, Wilson, Barker, Niagara-Wheatfield,
etc.) living within 15 miles of DeSales. Families must apply
for transportation by submitting a written request to their
school district of residence before April 1st. Questions about
routes and schedules should be directed to the office of the
school district in which a student resides.
It is the parents’
responsibility to remind the students of the necessity of
proper behavior on the bus. The following guidelines have
been established by the Lockport City School District:
· The bus driver's instructions must be obeyed
· Heads,
arms and hands are to be kept inside the bus at all times
· Emergency
doors and windows should not be touched
· Students
are to remain seated
· Inappropriate
language and behavior will not be tolerated
If bus conduct referrals
are issued, students may receive detention. Failure to comply
with these guidelines may result in loss of transportation privileges.
If there
is a reason for altering your child’s means of transportation
on a particular day(s), please send a note to school and a
duplicate note for the bus driver. Bus routes may not be altered.
These regulations are made to ensure the safety of your child.
