Code of Conduct
School Cancellations & Delays

Code of Conduct

Students’ behavior on CSS school buses/vans can directly affect their safety and the safety of others. Bus riders are expected to adhere to a one-page code of conduct and are asked to read and adhere to these expectations.

School Cancellations & Delays

The Colorado Springs School is a PreK through 12 independent day school annually serving families across an approximately 40 zip code radius and growing. Some Kodiak families may drive up to 45-minutes each way to reach CSS's 28-acre campus in the Broadmoor area, and the school's buses currently travel as far as 30 minutes north and east. Decisions pertaining to school delays and cancellations are strictly circumstantial and are made with any variety of the following factors in mind:

  • Travel conditions on major roadways
  • Availability of CSS buses and drivers, particularly when School vehicles are also being used for athletic competitions and off-site field trips such as Mountain Caravan, Experience-Centered Seminars, Seminars, Fall Adventure, and Colorado Expedition
  • Conversations with key parties from area school districts
  • The status of other school delays and cancellations as reported by the Flash Alert Newswire across multiple communities, including Public School Districts 12, 11, 20, 3, 49, 38, 8, and 14, as well as local charter and private schools

Deliberations among members of the school's leadership team and Facilities Office begin as soon as the possibility for inclement weather has been announced. Decisions are not made lightly and take into account several or all of the factors listed above. Every inclement weather day is situational, and we strive to ensure that families are safe while balancing the impact that missing school may have on academic learning and growth. Although the context for snow in our area is challenging, we look to make each decision with student well-being and learning at the forefront. We appreciate each family's support and partnership whenever a decision is made or not made to delay or cancel school.

Bus Routes & Pricing

Bus routes are reviewed annually and several considerations are assessed, including, parent/student convenience, shifting demographics, traffic patterns, safety and security, and demand for ridership. Pricing ranges, with locations and times subject to change depending upon ridership.

CSS transportation services do not include drop-ins nor partial refunds. Families may choose to pay an annual one time payment for transportation services each August, or elect to a monthly payment plan from August through May of that school year.
