Our district buses now have equipment allowing Ride 360 to use GPS geolocation to let users know when to expect their bus each day. This portal allows parents and students to access their own secure data for bus stop location, route, and pick up time via the web or app.
Setup and management is simple, and routing information is easily accessible by parents and students. The links below provide more information about using the mobile app or website to track your bus.

Student ID numbers are required when registering, so student information is confidential. Bus information is specific to each student and accessible only to that student and parent (with option to share).
For the best experience on the mobile app, please ensure you have the latest version installed.

has a bus to ride. Our staff are held to high standards; each driver is required to
maintain, but no limited to the following:
- Commercial driver's license (CDL)

- First aid certification
- Blood-borne pathogen training
All buses and fleet vehicles are regularly maintained by a staff of qualified mechanics.
Safety
School bus safety is all about knowing what to do, and what not to do, to ensure you
get to school safely. Become a safe rider; learn and practice the
school bus safety rules.
Rules
- Follow the directions of the driver the first time directions are given.
- Be courteous and respectful of other persons and property.
- Use appropriate language and tone when speaking.
- Remain seated and keep all body parts and personal belongings in the bus and out of the aisle.
- Be on time when meeting the bus.
Additionally, eating, drinking, using tobacco products, and possessing dangerous objects are not allowed on any bus.
Drivers are not allowed to let a child off at a stop which is not their own without permission from a parent. Students
must have a note stamped or signed by school personnel and returned to the driver.
Consequences
- First Warning — the driver verbally warns student.
-
Second Warning — the student is given an assigned seat and has conference with driver after other
students exit the bus.
-
First Notice — a conduct notice is given to the student and their principal; this notice must be
signed by a parent and returned to the driver before the student may return to the bus.
-
Second Notice — a conduct notice is given to the student and their principal; the notice must be
signed by a parent and returned to the driver before the student may return to the bus. Parents will
receive a letter from transportation notifying them that receipt of a third notice may result in suspension
from the bus.
-
Third Notice — a conduct notice is given to the student and their principal. The transportation
supervisor will make a recommendation to the principal for suspension of riding privileges (length to
determined by offense). Parents will be contacted by the principal.
-
Severe Clause — same as Third Notice.
Designated Pick-up and Drop-off
Auburn-Washburn USD 437 Board of Education policy entitles each student to only one designated pick-up address
and one designated drop-off address. These two addresses may be different, but each must remain consistent.
If your child is to ride with a friend or needs to be dropped off at another location in your school's attendance
due to emergency, we must be notified by telephone or a note. Notification is required even if your child is going
to be dropped off at a different stop on his or her regular route. These policies ensure accountability of students
on the bus.
