Welcome to the Walking School Bus program, offered by Siouxland District Health Dept in collaboration with Regency Square Care Center. We are committed to promoting the health and well-being of children through physical activity and encouraging active transportation options for commuting to school.

Why Choose Walking School Bus?

Walking School Bus is a safe and active way for children to commute to school. It involves a group of children walking together under adult supervision along a predefined route, with designated stops to pick up and drop off children along the way.

By joining the Walking School Bus program, children not only benefit from regular physical activity but also develop social connections, gain independence, and learn important pedestrian safety skills. It is a fun and engaging way to start the day, promoting a healthy lifestyle from an early age.
