School Transportation
The School District of Amery's Transportation Department proudly provides service for the more than 1,500 students who attend the four schools in our school district.
Specific requirements for school bus drivers, as well as ongoing trainings and staff development opportunities, contribute to the safe reputation of Amery drivers. Drivers are required to be physically fit, maintain special licenses, including federally mandated endorsements, and must adhere to yearly state requirements.
Parents are encouraged to have their students ride the bus at least one time during the school year. It's a great boost to the amount of funding the School District of Amery receives...and it's fun!
Can the school bus pick up and drop off your child in different locations?
Yes, your student may have one pick up location and one different drop off location, but the locations must be the same every day of the week.
We are committed to getting your students to and from their destinations safely. To do this effectively, each driver must know their riders' consistent drop off and pick up points. They must also have enough space on their bus for all students assigned to their route. For these reasons, the transportation department can no longer accommodate single day or short-term/weekly bus change requests. This includes:
- Student rides a different bus one day to go home with a friend - NO
- Student rides a different bus to be dropped off at a weekly after school activity - NO
- Student rides one bus M, W, F and rides a different bus T, Th - NO
- Student is picked up/dropped off at mom's house one week, dad's the next, alternating weeks - NO
This policy is consistent with other districts, and one we believe is necessary to provide safe transportation for all students.
In the event of an emergency, you may contact the transportation director at 715-268-9771 ext. 231 to request an exception.
