Bus Pass Requests through October
At the beginning of the school year it is necessary to wait until all eligible riders (band students, etc.) have had the opportunity to ride in order to accurately assess the number of students on a bus and available space; this cannot take place until the end of October and we ask families to be patient during this process. During this time, bus passes for regular school bus routes are not available.
Regular Route Bus Passes
After Transportation confirms routes at the end of October, regular route bus passes are available from the Main Office before school, during Jag Time or during lunches. They are based upon availability, as seats are limited. If there is room on the bus, supply the Main Office with a parent/guardian signed note.
Requests cannot be taken over the phone or by email. The parent/guardian signed note must include the following information:
- Date pass is to be effective
- First and last name of your student
- First and last name of the student your child is going home with
- Address where your student is disembarking the bus (established stop) - please visit the Northshore School District Transportation website to determine the established stop
- Indicate duration (today only, or a specific period of dates)
- Parent signature
Open dated passes are not allowed.
If approved, a blue bus pass will be issued to the student by the Main Office that the student must hand to the driver when boarding the bus.
NCHS Bus Information
Please note that students are routed and assigned to buses at a single stop location based on the address they have registered at their school. Waiver students, walkers and students destined to alternate locations other than than their primary home address (such as daycare, split household, or grandparents) are not eligible for transportation.
Students may inquire about available space on a bus by completing a Transportation Inquiry Form. All Transportation Department forms are available online. At the beginning of the school year it is necessary to wait until all eligible riders (band students, etc.) have had the opportunity to ride in order to accurately assess the number of students on a bus and available space. This cannot take place until the end of October and we ask families to be patient during this process. Completion of forms does not guarantee a bus ride or change in stop location.
