Travel Policy

September 1, 2026 

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

As part of our commitment to fostering team unity, accountability, and student safety, we want to remind all families of the importance of student-athletes traveling with their team on district-provided transportation to all games and school sponsored athletic events. 

In accordance with Conejo Valley Unified School District policy, all student-athletes are required to use district-provided buses, vans, or other approved transportation to and from athletic activities when provided. This policy not only ensures the safety and supervision of our students but also reinforces the values of teamwork and shared responsibility that are central to high school athletics. 

We understand that on rare occasions, there may be compelling circumstances where a parent must drive their child to or from an event. In such cases, a “Student Transportation Permission Form” AND “Personal Vehicle Use Registration Form” must be submitted for review in advance to the NPHS athletics department. Requests made for reasons of convenience (e.g., other commitments, closer to home, scheduling conflicts, saving time, etc.) will not be approved. 

Key reminders about the protocol for parents driving their own children to and or from NPHS athletic events: 

• Approval is not guaranteed and approval is at the discretion of the NPHS athletics department administration. 

• Both forms must be submitted to the NPHS athletics department at least 24 hours in advance of the event.

• The “Student Transportation Permission Form” must be signed by the head coach of the team prior to being submitted to the athletics department. 

• The forms must be submitted for each individual event where alternative transportation is requested. (i.e. one set of forms for one game) 

Please help us support the values of safety, responsibility, and team commitment by encouraging your student athlete to ride the bus with their teammates. We appreciate your cooperation and continued support of our athletic programs. The “Student Transportation Permission Form” AND “Personal Vehicle Use Registration Form” can both be found on the NPHS Athletics website https://www.nphsathletics.org/student-transportation-2 

If you have any questions please contact the assistant principal of athletics. 

Sincerely, 

Ethan Gray, 

Assistant Principal of Athletics 

Newbury Park High School
