Activities
The transportation of students to school-sponsored activity trips should be in school bus vehicles whenever possible. Only Rio Rancho Public Schools students, sponsors, and chaperones will be transported on school buses for school-sponsored activity trips. A school bus must be used any time the school-sponsored activity involves more than eighteen (18) passengers or would require more than two school-owned vehicles to transport passengers to the same destination.
In order to promote the safe transportation of students, the use of school-owned vehicles should be on a limited basis. If a school-owned vehicle is used, the following criteria must be met:
The rated capacity of the vehicle is nine or fewer.
The sponsored activity involves eighteen or less passengers.
The sponsored activity will require only two school-owned vehicles to transport students to the same destination.
A signed release from the parents/guardians giving permission for the students to participate in the activity and to ride in a school-owned vehicle must be obtained by the sponsor
Required documentation must be submitted to the school site administration and to the Department of Student Transportation (DOST) prior to the activity.
Inclement Weather
The decision to implement an abbreviated day schedule will be made by the Superintendent of RRPS. Information is gathered through the coordinated efforts of many people such as the DOST Executive Director and state, county, and city weather and street departments. Road conditions and the ability of school buses to transport students safely to and from school are the basis of the information.
The decision to institute an abbreviated schedule will be made and announced through the news media between 5:45 – 6:00 am. In the event that weather conditions worsen and it is necessary to close schools for the entire day, the decision and announcement will be made no later than 9:00 am.
The abbreviated day schedule is a shortened school day that begins two (2) hours later than the regular bell schedule but ends at the regular time. Pick up times at school bus stops will be two hours later than regularly scheduled.
