4 p.m. & 5 p.m. bus is available for students assigned detention, participating in sports, or other school activities. The bus drops students off at each of the ELEMENTARY Sites.

Transportation to and from school is a privilege provided to students by the Salida Union School District. Firm standards of discipline must be maintained at all times for safety reasons. Whenever a driver is distracted, children's safety is in danger. Foremost in our minds is the safety of each passenger.
