Pick-Ups & Drop-Offs

Our routes are tightly scheduled. Arrival times should be very close to the assigned time each day. Times will change periodically due to changes in ridership, but we will keep you aware of any new scheduled time for your child.

For the safety and convenience of the other children and parents, it is very important that your child be ready at the scheduled time. If we arrive early, we will wait until the assigned time. If we are going to be more than 10 minutes late, we will try to call you. Please understand that if your child is not visible outside when the assigned time has passed, the driver will report to the dispatcher; the dispatcher will confirm the time and may send the driver away.

It is equally important that a parent or other responsible person be present to meet your child when s/he returns from school. Unless other arrangements have been formally made, our drivers are instructed never to drop off a child who is unattended.

Our routes are carefully planned to ensure punctuality, with arrival times closely adhering to the scheduled time each day. Please note that times may be adjusted periodically due to changes in ridership, and we will keep you informed of any updates to your child’s schedule.

To ensure the safety and convenience of all children and parents, it is crucial that your child is ready and visible at the scheduled time. If we arrive early, we will wait until the designated time. In the event of a delay exceeding 10 minutes, we will make every effort to notify you.

If your child is not present outside at the scheduled time, the driver will report to the dispatcher, who will confirm the time and may instruct the driver to proceed with the route. Similarly, it is essential that a parent or authorized person is present to receive your child when they return from school. Unless alternative arrangements have been formally made, our drivers are instructed not to leave a child unattended.”

Pick-Ups & Drop-Offs

As part of Nice Ride LLC Transportation’s commitment to the safety and well-being of our students, all employees are required to successfully participate in car seat, booster seat and seatbelt safety training sessions. Delivered by Safe Kids certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians, these hands-on training sessions focus on helping employees develop and demonstrate the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors necessary to ensure that students are safely and securely seated at all times during their ride to and from their homes and schools.

Bullying Prevention & Intervention

Our drivers receive ongoing training in how to recognize and respond to all potentially unsafe student behaviors, including those that would be considered as bullying. Developed in conjunction with the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center’s model, our in-house training sessions focus on teaching employees how to observe, identify and assess student behaviors. Drivers learn effective preventive strategies in behavior management, as well as reporting requirements and procedures.
