What to do if
| A. |
I want to change buses permanently? Contact the school bus coordinator for a new application form or download an electronic copy from the link in the documents table above.

| B. |
I want to change stops - permanently or temporarily? To change bus stops temporarily, give a note signed by your parent or caregiver to Student Services for a bus pass if a seat is available. For a permanent change of bus stop, parents or caregiver are to contact the Bus Coordinator at Nuriootpa High School. |

I want to use another bus for a special occasion? A note signed by the parent or caregiver must be presented to Student Services with 24 hours notice. Approval will be based on availability of seats. |
