Call the Transportation Office at 570-735-5066 for bus information.

Please be advised that every child who is eligible for transportation must be assigned to a specific bus. Students must be listed on the driver’s roster to be able to board that bus. Students are not allowed to switch buses. Bus drivers are not permitted to let anyone other than students who are listed on their bus roster to ride their bus. Bus passes are not issued to students to go to friend’s houses.

If you have moved you must notify the school before your child can be assigned to a new bus.

Use of Visual and Audio Surveillance on School Buses
The Greater Nanticoke Area School District, as per Board Policy Number 816, reserves the right to monitor student behavior through the use of audio and video monitoring equipment on buses used to transport both public and non- public students at any given time.

Important School Bus Safety Alert
Help us to protect your children as they travel to and from school!

Certain types of children's clothing can create a hazard as your child gets off the school bus. Especially dangerous are:

  • Long dangling jacket or sweatshirt drawstrings.
  • Long backpack straps
  • Long scarves or other loose clothing.

Such clothing can be caught in the bus handrail, door, or other equipment as the child gets off the bus.
In recent years, a number of children across the U.S. have had their clothing caught as they exited the bus. Several of these children were dragged by the bus and then killed when the bus ran over them.

Please take the time to check your children's clothing to make sure it is safe.
Remove drawstrings from clothing whenever possible, or at least cut off the drawstrings, tabs and knots.

Please talk with your child about the following safety rules:

 

  • Stay away from the Danger Zones around the bus.
  • Don't try to pick up something dropped near the bus, the bus driver might not see you.
  • Remember that other motorists don't always stop for a stopped school bus.
  • Use extreme caution whenever getting on or off the bus.
