School Transportation Information

Bus passes are required for a student to ride the school bus. The School Bus Office is located on Camp Foster in building 5821, phone 645-7820. Bus monitors are under the direct supervision of the 18th Support Group Bus Office. Parental concerns should be reported to the School Bus Transportation Office. The school supervises only the loading and unloading of the buses on the school grounds. Misconduct at the bus stop must be reported to the School Bus Office. The senior commanders on Okinawa have established the following bus rules:

• First incident of student misconduct, regardless of the type offense committed, as recorded on cameras and/or reported to Bus Barn supervisors by adult monitors or local national drivers, will result in 10 days suspension from riding the bus.
• Second incident of student misconduct documented on the same child will result in 30 days suspension.
• The third incident of student misconduct documented on the same child will result in the child being permanently suspended from riding the school bus for the duration of the sponsor's tour on Okinawa.

Sponsors of children who ride the school bus must discuss proper bus conduct with their child and explain any consequences resulting from inappropriate behavior. Questions about discipline can be addressed to the school bus monitor supervisors at the School Bus Office. Students who fail to get off the bus at their assigned stop will be taken to the School Bus Office for pickup by the parent.
