  • All bus pick up times are approximate and may vary plus or minus 6 to 7 minutes. Students should be waiting at the designated stop 7 to 11 minutes prior to the scheduled pick up time to assure that they will be seen by the driver.
  • During the first several weeks of school, routes and times may be adjusted to assure timely arrival at schools.
  • Pick up and drop off locations are determined by the Board of Education based on safety conditions in consultation with the Student Transportation of America (STA) Safety Director and the Guilford Police Department.
  • On occasion, buses will run late due to such things as mechanical breakdowns or inclement weather.
  • Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children until they board the bus, after which the Board of Education assumes supervisory responsibility. In the afternoon, parents assume supervisory responsibility when students get off the bus.
  • Kindergarten students will be dropped off only if the driver can see an adult. If no adult is visible, the driver will radio the bus yard dispatcher who will call the home. If there is still no adult available, the student will be returned to the school.
  • Pick-ups and drop offs of students at non-home addresses (day care, etc.) are available on a route and space-available basis.


Parents should direct questions or concerns to their respective school principal or to the Bus Company Manager, Marie Illingworth, at Student Transportation of America at (203) 453-9056 .
