School Bus Information

Safety First:
HUSD prioritizes the safety of all students using district transportation. Under Arizona law, bus services may be provided for students who live more than 1.5 miles from their school within district boundaries. Transportation is a privilege, not a requirement, except for students with disabilities as stated in their Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

Bus Driver Authority:
According to Arizona law, the bus driver is responsible for student behavior and safety on the bus. Drivers have the same authority as a teacher in the classroom. Any adult passengers, such as teachers or activity sponsors, also help supervise but remain under the authority of the bus driver.

Bus Pass & Alternate Stops:
If a student needs to get off at a different stop or ride a different bus, a parent/guardian must contact our transportation department. Students exiting at the wrong stop without permission will receive a referral.

HUSD allows high school students to use alternate stops on their assigned bus route without needing permission.

Kinder Students

Parent/Guardian Pickup:
A parent/guardian must meet the bus for kindergarten students.

* A parent may complete a Kinder Release Form to allow their student to be released without an adult, or to a sibling or designated person.
