Dawson is pleased to offer the Greenride bus program again for the 2021-22 school year. Our centralized bus system continues to be fast, fun, safe, and convenient, not to mention time saving and affordable! Dawson offers to all of its families a centralized-stop bus program that is convenient and, with the flat fee structure, affordable. We believe that this program is both time and cost effective for parents, students, and the school.
• Punch cards (for occasional riders): $50/three round trips (or six segments). Limited to 10 cards or 30 rides per child, per family.
Late Activity Bus service continues for those students who participate in afterschool programs. Buses leave Dawson at 5:50pm and make limited stops in Longmont, Niwot, Boulder, Lafayette, Louisville, and Broomfield. Use a punch card or ride it free if you have registered for the Greenride! This service will start on August 30, 2021
COVID changes: All riders are still required by Boulder County Health to wear masks. Assigned seating will likely continue this year.

Permission to ride the bus: Bus drivers may not transport any unauthorized passengers. If a student not regularly assigned to a bus needs a ride, written permission in the form of a note or an email from the student’s parent must be sent to the school in advance. If a student needs to ride the bus and does not have a note or email from his or her parent, authorization must be obtained from the appropriate divisional office at Dawson. A bus driver will not transport a student without written authorization from a parent. Parents need to complete authorization as part of SchoolDoc documents.
