Special Transportation

The office of the Director of Special Education and Pupil Services’ office will notify parents of the arrangements for students in special education programs. 

Kindergarten Routes

All Kindergarten students must be met at the bus stop by a parent or authorized adult.

Safety and Bus Behavior

Students transported in the interest of safety, must observe rules of good behavior, and be considerate of others. They must be seated immediately and remain seated while the vehicle is in motion. Students misbehaving and failing to abide by regulations may be denied the privilege of riding on school buses either temporarily or permanently.

Bus Stops

The maximum walking distances to a prescribed point of embarkation are the following: (1) kindergarten, one-half mile; (2) elementary schools, one mile; (3) middle school, one and one-half mile; (4) high school, two miles.  It is the Board of Education’s firm belief that parents/guardians are responsible for insuring proper supervision of their children as they walk to and from bus stops and while waiting for the bus at such stops.  Such supervision extends to daycare operators and other non-parental guardians providing oversight to children. This belief also includes, but is not limited to, cases where supervision may be necessary to gain access to a sidewalk located on the opposite side of the street as a child walks to a bus stop.  

For more information, please refer to BOE policies at www.rockyhillps.com.

*All students should be at their bus stops at least 5 minutes prior to the bus stop posted time.

All bus stop requests or concerns should be directed to the B.O.E Central Office at 860-258-7701 ext. 166. Neither the bus drivers nor the bus company can change stops without prior approval from the B.O.E. Central Office.  New Britain Transportation (NBT) is Rocky Hill’s Student transportation provider.
