First Student Bus

From the Morongo Unified School District Transportation Webpage:

Morongo Unified School District provides limited transportation privileges for pupils; parents or guardians are not allowed to ride the bus without special permission from the school Principal, and only in limited special circumstances. Bus stops are spaced throughout the district between 3 and 5 miles in most cases. Please review safe walking guidelines with your student. Wearing hoodies or headwear which blocks peripheral vision or ear buds which block hearing may put children in danger while walking. Riding the school bus is a privilege and can be revoked for failure to follow the bus rules as outlined in the Parent/Student Handbook.
