After School Activity BusStudents who are participating in extacurricular activities, such as interscholastic sports, intramurals, clubs, receive academic assistance, use the RTC, or detentions will be permitted to use this service. Students who are not involved in activities or after school detentions will not be permitted to ride the activity bus. The activity bus fee is $60 per family. The fee for the activity bus can be paid in the school office or through the district's online payment system. Students involved in an after school activity will be issued a bus pass for the activity bus by the club or activity sponsor. A new pass must be used each time the student rides the bus. This pass will be distributed by the club sponsor daily at the end of the activity. There are no permanent bus passes issued. The four activity buses load students at 4:00pm and depart at approximately 4:15pm, Monday through Friday, according to a route schedule determined early in September. The routing will take between 30 and 40 minutes depending on weather conditions and the number of students riding the bus. Please be aware that student activity bus stops may require students to walk further than their regular bus stop. Since not all students ride the activity bus every day it is not possible to include all regular student bus stops on the afternoon route. Stops are chosen based upon centralized locations identified by the district transportation department. Please refer to the route schedule for stop information. The after school bus program runs Monday through Friday. The activity bus is not available the day before Winter Break andSpring Break, and for days of scheduled faculty meetings. These dates are noted in the assignment notebook and your PTA school calendar. In addition, if after school activities are canceled due to inclement weather, the activity bus may not be available. Students are informed by intercom announcement of after school activity and activity bus cancellations. You can also check the Daily School News tab on the RTC website.
