Cost Per Month for Each Student
The number of riding days varies each month – the cost was calculated for the entire year and divided evenly for those who prefer to pay monthly. Fall, Christmas, and Spring breaks and other holidays are already accounted for.

Arrive about 5 minutes before the posted time and remain with your students until they have boarded the bus. The bus will load students and leave at the time posted.
Secondary students will walk to Draper 2 and load the bus no later than 3:20pm.
Elementary students will be dismissed at 3:15pm/2:15pm (first dismissal) and get on the bus before it leaves.
The bus is scheduled to leave at 3:25pm/2:25pm.
Parents will wait at the bus stop until the bus arrives. The time posted is the earliest arrival time, and we strongly suggest parents arrive by that time. Due to traffic and weather conditions, sometimes the bus comes later than the posted time.
Unless they have a walking pass, the bus driver will not leave any students at the bus stop without a parent to meet them. Instead the driver will keep the student on the bus, finish the route, and then try to contact the parent before returning back to the school.
To qualify for a walking pass the student(s) must be walking to a residential address within 2 miles of the bus stop. It must also be a safe route to walk from the bus stop. Any secondary student walking within 2 miles can receive a walking pass, which means the bus will drop them off at the stop and they can walk home. Elementary students can have a supervised walking pass as long as they have a secondary student who will walk with them. Requesting a walking pass is included on the application.
Some of the bus drivers are full time employees of APA, while others are contract employees. All have passed a state background check and are qualified to drive a school bus. The drivers’ first priority is the students’ safety. They work hard to run the bus route efficiently and to help everyone on the bus have a positive experience. They are provided with rosters so they can contact you in case of emergency.
As required by the state, we will conduct emergency evacuation drills twice a year.
If your student leaves an item on the bus, they should check with the Elementary office and/or the bus driver to locate it. The driver may keep it on the bus in hopes of getting it to the student the next day, or they may turn lost items in to the front desk.
We want your student to have a positive experience riding the bus. Here are the rules you and your student agree to follow when using the bus program:
Student safety is the highest priority at APA. The behavior expectations on the school buses should reflect the behavior expectations set forth in the classroom. The following behavior is not allowed under any circumstance:
The following may be approved with permission from the bus driver. However, the driver reserves the right to deny or restrict availability for any reason:
It is the policy of the APA transportation department to utilize similar consequences set forth in the classrooms when addressing student behavior issues. However, there may be times when additional consequences may be needed. This includes the use of assigned seating and suspension.
All buses are equipped with close-circuit cameras.
