Bus Rules

Please take a few moments to go over the rules below with your child. Riding the bus is a privilege that can be lost. 

If you have any problems or concerns and need to talk with your child’s driver please either call the Transportation Office or if it is safe to do so talk to the driver through their side window. Please remember they have other stops and a time schedule so please do not delay them long. To avoid any legal trouble please do not step on to the bus to talk with the driver. Under Missouri law this is trespassing and for the safety of the students we transport Mehlville School District has posted warnings on all buses.
