Transportation

Our Transportation Department places a top priority on the safety of every student in our district. We support all district transportation needs such as busing students to and from school each day, providing special needs transportation, accommodating all extracurricular and activity trip busing needs, and providing vehicles for employees to attend workshops and conferences.

Upcoming Transportation Changes

May 8, 2024

Dear Parent/Guardian,

We would like to inform you of various transportation items for the upcoming school year. First, the Moniteau School District has a new transportation provider for the 2024–2025 school year. The name of this company is ABC Transit, Inc.

Please note that all stops for the upcoming school year will default to the permanent address on file with the school in Skyward. If you will have alternative arrangements for transportation, it is very important that you communicate these arrangements to the transportation department no later than June 30, 2024.

To make any permanent changes, such as change of address, please do so through the school registrar (ext. 2004). To officially make these changes, please submit two proofs of residency. Changes to transportation and bus assignments will only take effect after the school registrar has approved the address change by entering it into Skyward.

Please send all other permanent transportation requests to the transportation department in writing or email, clearly outlining the reason for the request. The transportation director will review the request, consult with appropriate parties, and provide a response as soon as possible.

For multiple stops related to court ordered custody agreements (must be on file in the school office), the transportation director must be aware of these arrangements and receive a monthly calendar detailing stop locations and dates. Please send these calendars by the last day of the previous month throughout the school year. For the sake of child accountability, we would like to request that these dates and stops be as consistent and possible week to week.

Finally, please remember to communicate alternative arrangements to the transportation department no later than June 30, 2024, by filling out this online form. It is very important to meet this deadline as we make the transition to the new transportation provider.

If you have any questions, please contact the transportation department at extension 2000 or send an email to Devon Rock.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Nicole A. Fox
Interim Transportation Director

Bus Rules

Riding the school bus is a privilege, not a right. We enforce bus rules to make travel to and from school as safe as possible. Please be aware that we monitor video and audio on all Moniteau buses to ensure our drivers and students abide by these rules.

  1. No eating food or candy, drinking or chewing gum on the bus.
  2. Do not throw objects inside or out of the bus.
  3. Noise should be at a level acceptable to both the driver and/or coaches.
  4. Keep the bus clean, and throw trash in the proper containers.
  5. Remain in your seat.
  6. Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
  7. No glass containers.
  8. Keep the aisle clear.
  9. Do not compromise the safety of yourself or others.
  10. Students will follow directions given by the bus driver and/or the coaches.
  11. The school, bus driver, and/or coaches are not responsible for personal items left unattended on the bus.
