Services and Programs
Transportation
All Rowland Hall students are transported on our buses. We go on over 200 fieldtrips a year.
Rowland Hall provides transportation to families requesting bus services, depending upon the geographical location of the student’s residence and the availability of space. Service is not available for Beginning School or kindergarten students. Door-to-door service is not offered for any route.
Bus Rules and Safety
Rowland Hall bus rules are in place to ensure safety on the bus for students and the driver. The rules can be reviewed on the pdf below.
To ensure a safer air quality around our students we support the school’s “No Idling” Pledge, which states that if you are stopped for longer than 10 seconds at the school or bus stops that you turn off your engine. Parents, while at the bus stops, are also asked to follow the school’s pledge. Our diesel buses have the proper new standard equipment required for clean emissions.
Unlike many school buses, all Rowland Hall buses have been retrofitted with seat belts to ensure more safety for our students. Buses used for Kindergarten fieldtrips have four-point harnesses.
Most important is the buses' mechanical safety. The Utah Highway Patrol inspects all buses twice a year to ensure proper maintenance. The first visit is a planned inspection and the second is an on the spot surprise inspection.
Rowland Hall is a member of the Utah Safety Council.
Registration and Costs
Costs vary depending on the distance from the school. Please see the Avenues registration form, the Davis registration form, the Park City registration form, or the Salt Lake City registration form for costs. If you are interested in registering for transportation please fill out the form and return to Transportation Director Amy Bird, with the appropriate deposit, by mail to 720 Guardsman Way, SLC 84108.
Free Shuttle Service
Rowland Hall offers a free shuttle from the Lincoln Street Campus to the McCarthey Campus (please note: this is a change to one-way only from the middle/upper school to the McCarthey Campus) during morning drop-off. We offer a shuttle from McC to Lincoln Street and from Lincoln Street to McC in the afternoon. This service is most useful for parents who have children at both campuses and for faculty members whose children attend classes on the other campus. For morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up any students going from the McCarthey Campus to the Lincoln Campus will need to be out front at the circle drive at the bus zone (720 Guardsman Way). Anyone going from Lincoln Campus to McCarthey Campus will need to be at the bus zone on 8th South. (970 E. 800 S.). See sidebar to the right for times that students will need to be out at these locations and the departure times.
Staff
All drivers are screened and have class B or class A commercial drivers licenses. When drivers are hired they are CPR and First Aid certified. Drug and alcohol testing is performed throughout the year.
