Due to safety concerns, Orono Intermediate School students are not allowed to walk to or from school, ride bicycles, or ride home with anyone other than their parents or parents’ designee.
Students will not be permitted to ride buses other than the one assigned without written permission from the office. Bus passes are not available for birthday parties, play activities, or sleepovers. Bus passes may be issued to students, as room permits, at the discretion of the building principal or designee.
Passes are to be presented to the bus driver upon entering the bus. Reasons for which bus passes may be issued include: childcare, family emergency, and activities such as dance/music lessons, medical/dental appointments, and scouting or religious events.
We encourage our students to ride the bus to reduce traffic congestion. However, it is understood that riding the bus is not always possible. If you need to drop off or pick up your child, we ask for your cooperation with the following procedures.
These guidelines reflect our top priority – the safety and welfare of your child. Please understand that when necessary, these procedures place safety as a priority over convenience.
Additional information may be found on the district’s transportation page. Building transportation decisions are guided by the Student Transportation Safety Policy (#709).
If you are looking for a lost and found item, or a late bus, please contact the bus terminal at 952-475-0038.
