Riding the bus to and from school is a privilege. If a student's conduct is unbecoming or in any way endangers the welfare of other students, this privilege will be revoked. If permission to ride the bus is revoked, the parent must provide transportation.

Parents of children riding buses are provided with school bus transportation regulations and procedures. Video cameras are routinely used on all school buses. All bus students are subject to videotaping. It is the parent's responsibility to discuss the provisions of the safety and behavior code for bus riding with their child.We must have a student transportation/accommodation form on file for all students riding the bus.

We kindly request that parents assist their children in boarding the bus each morning. Pre-K through second grade students must have an adult meet them at the bus stop or a sibling at least nine years old accompanying them off the bus each afternoon. If there is no adult or sibling (nine years old or above) to meet or accompany your child, they will be considered undeliverable and will remain on the bus, being taken to the Tulsa Public Schools transportation office. You will need to call 918-833-8100 to arrange for the pickup of your child.

• Please note that non-bus riders may not arrive at school earlier than 7:20 a.m., as there is no staff available to supervise students before that time.
• Students are dropped off at the main door. Parents enter the front circle drive and wait to unload until instructed by the school staff. There are three lanes at the entry to the school drive. 
• Students are let out at the crosswalk and should exit the car on the driver's side.
• Students are only allowed to cross using the crosswalk when instructed by a Clinton West staff member.
• After crossing, students are to walk on the right-hand side of the sidewalk to the main door.

School dismissal time is 2:35 p.m.

Students are either bus riders, car riders, or walkers. A walker is a student who walks all the way home.

1. Buses will leave Clinton West by 2:40-2:45
2. Walkers will exit the gym door as soon as buses leave.
3. Car riders will start next.
4. Pull your car up when directed.
5. Please stay in your car as we load the students. Coming to the front door will not make it faster.

Students will not be dismissed early after 2:00 p.m. Office staff is extremely busy with dismissal procedures after 2 p.m. so there will be no one available to bring your child to the office. If you want your child to leave early, arrive before 2:00 p.m. This will result as a tardy on your child's attendance record.

Please pick up your child promptly at 2:35 p.m. or make arrangements for day care with a day care provider of your choice.

Please call the school office at 918-746-8670 by noon if you need to change your child's usual mode of transportation home after school. You must call or come to the school.

If your child walks home, they will be dismissed out the gym doors after the buses leave. All walkers are dismissed together. Please encourage your child to go directly home or to their designated after-school destination.
