Bus Pickup and drop-off
- Students should arrive at the stop 5 minutes before pickup time. Buses will not wait for late students.
- Buses typically pick up students in the high school bus circle or main street entrance, though some schools may differ.
- Zoom in on this map to find a specific pin marking where the bus picks up at each school.
- SVCTE buses are yellow school buses operated by our transportation vendor, First Student. Large full-size buses say "First Student," and smaller vans may say "West Valley JPA" or "First Student." Typically, there is only one bus stop at each high school to pick up students for SVCTE, so there is no concern about getting on the correct bus. To depart SVCTE's campus, many buses are arranged in our bus circle, and staff are happy to assist students in identifying the correct bus to ride.
- Dropoff times are approximate and may be earlier or later, depending on traffic and time of departure from SVCTE.
- Students may ride to SVCTE to or from any listed stop. Students may ride the bus on some days or in some directions and not others. Buses will not wait for missing or late students.
- Bus schedules may be adjusted throughout the year. SVCTE will publish new versions when they become available and advise all affected students & schools.
