Alternative Request Forms are used to request that your child is picked up and/or dropped off at an alternate address including before/after school programs, a babysitter's home, etc. This can be requested even if a student is not eligible for transportation between home and school.

PLEASE NOTE:

• These requests are not guaranteed approval and may be denied.
• If approved, your request will not carry over to the following school year and needs to be resubmitted as needed.
• In order for these requests to be approved, there must be capacity on the bus and we must be able to accommodate the request without adding additional time to an existing bus route.
• If approved, students with corner stop eligibility will receive a corner stop within 0.5 mi of the requested alternate address.
• Alternative assignments remain in effect on early release days. Parents are responsible for making arrangements as needed.
• Alternative assignments can only be assigned M-F, not specific days in the week.
