The Richmond School District joins Arrowhead High School and the other Arrowhead Feeder School Districts for shared busing, which is provided by Dousman Transport Company, Inc. (http://www.dtcbus.com/). There are currently six bus routes available to Richmond School students who are residents of the district and bus-eligible. Open enrolled families are responsible for their own transportation per state statute.
In late August, Dousman will notify us of bus routes. Please check the Skyward portal to find your bus pick up and drop off times and locations.
Dousman Transport offers an app to see the location and bus route of your child. ZONAR is the app that can be downloaded:
Access Code: ADTC1 Student #: Found under your child's profile tab in Skyward Bus Route #: Found under the Transportation Tile in Skyward.
Those families transporting their children to and from school are asked to please observe our drop off and pick up procedures to ensure everyone's safety.
To support safety for all, our expectations are that everyone demonstrates respect through appropriate bus behavior on a consistent basis.
To meet these expectations, all bus riders need to:
Sit down when they get on the bus,
Face forward when seated,
Keep the aisle clear so everyone can move safely,
Keep voices quiet so everyone can enjoy their ride and hear instructions,
Keep hands to themselves, and
Do not eat on the bus to keep it clean and sanitary.
We appreciate parents/guardians, district staff, and bus drivers for reminding students to follow bus safety rules and expectations.
Important Reminders Regarding Busing
Please arrive at least 5 minutes early to your stop in the morning.
Students that need to cross in front of the bus must wait for the driver to signal before walking.
Busing information can be found in the Skyward Parent Portal.
Students may only ride his or her assigned bus.
If parents/guardians have any questions or concerns, including a bus arriving early or late, pickup/drop-off times, a bus driver, or item left on the bus, they should contact Dousman Transportation at 262.966.9690.
