      • If parents have concerns or feel that a bus driver does something they don't like, DO NOT attempt to argue with the drivers or even discuss it with them. That is the FHS Transportation Coordinator’s and bus company’s job to do. Please inform the Fremont High School directly and we will follow through with the Bus Company and you.
      • Please regularly remind your child to follow all bus rules and driver instructions and be polite and well behaved on the bus.
      • Please be sure to read and follow all FHS School Bus FAQs on FHS’s website.
      • Remember the buses are an extension of the classrooms at FHS, and all students and parents must approach the drivers with the same respect and decorum as expected for FHS Faculty and Staff while on campus.
      • All students and parents must treat and interact with the bus driver with the same respect and decorum as they would with FHS Faculty and Staff.

 

Safety is always the first concern on the bus; therefore, students must exhibit safe behavior at all times and behave such that they do not provoke or encourage anyone else into exhibiting unsafe behavior. FHS and the Bus Company are not responsible for personal items left on the bus.

  

*All FHS School Bus Stops and Schedules are subject to change.
