Bus Delays and Emergencies

Please remember that buses may be slightly delayed when we are experiencing snow and icy conditions. Anything within 5 minutes of the scheduled arrival time is considered “on time.”

If your child’s bus is delayed and/or evacuated for any reason (bus breakdown, emergency, etc.) students must stay with the driver and wait for further instructions. If another bus is dispatched, students are to ride that bus and only get off at their assigned stop.

Transportation Webpage

Did you know the district has a web page devoted to student transportation? There’s so much useful information, including an interactive boundary/busing eligibility map, forms for secondary household and childcare transportation requests, an FAQ, and more! Go to https://www.sunprairieschools.org/departments/transportation to check it out.

Lost and Found

Kobussen has a Lost & Found for items left on the bus. The driver will keep the lost item on the bus for a few days, then turn it in at the terminal. If your child has a lost item don’t forget to check with Kobussen. Feel free to stop by the terminal at 1500 Forward Drive, Sun Prairie to check the lost and found.

Kobussen

If you have any questions or concerns about busing throughout the school year, please contact Kobussen at 825-8700, ext 5509.

Recuerde que los autobuses pueden retrasarse un poco cuando estamos experimentando condiciones de nieve y hielo. Cualquier cosa dentro de los 5 minutos de la hora de llegada programada se considera "a tiempo".

Si el autobús de su hijo se retrasa y/o es evacuado por cualquier motivo (avería del autobús, emergencia, etc.), los estudiantes deben quedarse con el conductor y esperar más instrucciones. Si se despacha otro autobús, los estudiantes deben viajar en ese autobús y solo bajarse en la parada asignada.

Página web de transporte

¿Sabía que el distrito tiene una página web dedicada al transporte estudiantil? ¡Hay mucha información útil, incluido un mapa interactivo de elegibilidad de límites/autobuses, formularios para solicitudes de transporte secundario para hogares y guarderías, preguntas frecuentes y más! Ir a https://www.sunprairieschools.org/departments/transportation para comprobarlo.

Objetos perdidos y encontrados

Kobussen tiene un departamento de objetos perdidos para los artículos olvidados en el autobús. El conductor guardará el objeto perdido en el autobús durante unos días y luego lo entregará en la terminal. Si su hijo tiene un artículo perdido, no olvide consultar con Kobussen. No dude en pasar por la terminal en 1500 Forward Drive, Sun Prairie para revisar los objetos perdidos y encontrados.

New Electronic Safety Tip Line

The safety and security of our students and staff is a top priority for the district. We have been teaching our students to say something to a trusted adult when they see something unsafe. Sometimes, though, there are barriers to reporting safety issues in person. Tip lines are one common approach that schools use to promote school and student safety and well-being. Tip lines are designed to provide students or other members of the public with a safe and confidential way to report a threat to a student or school safety.

To that end, we have created an Electronic Safety Tip Line available on the district website. The e-Tip Line allows students, parents, or community members to report weapons, threats of violence, bullying, sexual harassment, threat of suicide, drugs, and any other activity that could potentially endanger students, staff, and property.

We are developing a communication plan to roll this out to students in upper elementary, middle school, and high school. The e-Tip Line is available on the district website from the “Families” menu and “Quicklinks” and can also be found on the district bullying and safety webpages. If a student wishes to file a bullying report, please fill out a Bullying Report Form on the website.
