All students attending Tahoma Public Schools are eligible to ride buses to and from school. Children riding buses are required to observe rules of classroom conduct while riding in District vehicles.
Safety is the foremost concern of drivers and supervisors.
Bus Drivers are responsible for the safe conduct of children to and from school and are in full charge of the bus. All buses are equipped with fire extinguishers, first aid kits, chains or sanders in the event of snow or ice. Every morning, prior to leaving the parking compound, each bus driver performs a pre-trip safety check of the bus according to procedures established by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Children are never let off buses to walk unfamiliar distances. In the event of an emergency school closure or delayed beginning of the school day, listen to the radio or watch television news for information, and have your child's emergency transportation plan ready.
