Parent Guide for Student Transportation Document- follow the link to view the document.
Dear WCPS families,
Every school day school vehicles travel close to 12,000 miles to transport over 12,300 Wicomico County Public School students to and from school. Another 3,400 or so students arrive to school as walkers or by private vehicles.
It is the mission of the Transportation Services Department to support the learning process by promoting the safety of your student(s) whether transported by school vehicles or by other means. The safety of your student(s) requires the commitment of many partners including parents, students, transportation staff, school administrators, school vehicle drivers and school vehicle contractors.
For those families who use our school vehicle transportation services, it is our commitment to transport all students safely, efficiently, and economically in compliance with federal, state and local laws, regulations, policies and procedures. For families whose students arrive by other means, we are equally committed to establishing guidelines which ensure that students are safe as they enter and exit our school buildings.
This document highlights general operating procedures, parent and student responsibilities, and school vehicle conduct rules which are in place solely for the safety of your children. We ask that you review the contents of this guide and discuss student responsibilities with your children. Your cooperation and support of these rules will enable us to provide all students with safe and efficient transportation services.
Best wishes for a successful school year,
Desmond D. Hughes
Director of Transportation Services
Micah C. Stauffer, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
