Transportation
Welcome to the Transportation Dept.
Safety is the first responsibility of the Thief River Falls Transportation Department. Students are expected to follow the same behavioral standards while riding the school bus as are expected on school property or at school activities, functions or events. Riding the school bus is a privilege, not a right.

Important! Tri-Valley Bussing Information
If your student is signed up for Tri-Valley Bussing, Transportation Office needs to know. We still track all students daily, especially Pre K - 5th grade. We keep a shared spreadsheet with all of the CES teachers.
-
Let Transportation know that you’ve signed your student(s) up for Tri-Valley bussing.
-
If you are transporting your student(s) in the morning instead of Tri-Valley Bus, Transportation does NOT need to know. Follow the guidelines for drop off.
-
If your student(s) are scheduled to ride the Tri-Valley bus and you need to pick them up from school, Call Transportation. We still need to know. We will notify the teachers via spreadsheet.
-
If they are NOT going to school that day, please notify the CES attendance line. Transportation only needs to know where your students need to go at the end of the day. (For example: Tri-Valley Bus, parent transport, after school activity, etc.)
-
Any questions, please call the transportation department at 218-681-7077.

WEATHER/EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSINGS:
When emergency situations occur, including weather conditions, the decision to close schools, start later or dismiss early will be made by the Superintendent or his/her designee. To receive notifications make sure your contact information is current with transportation and your student's building secretary.
Safety for students and staff is our first priority. When weather conditions are questionable, the district's transportation director will do considerable checking of road conditions. Since the school district is very large, it is impossible to determine the conditions in every sector on any given day.
Even if school is in session, families are asked to assess their particular situation and determine whether or not it is safe for their child(ren) to attend school on a particular day. Please plan with your child what you will do in a school closing emergency.
In the event that school must be delayed or closed a School Messenger phone call, text message or email will be made to families and staff from the District Office.
Announcements will also be made on:
