Transportation

  • We are excited to announce that starting this school year (2024-2025), we will offer bus transportation for our 4-year-old Pre-K students. This initiative aims to provide safe and reliable transportation for our youngest learners and ensure their access to our educational programs.

    Bus Transportation Guidelines for 4-Year-Old Students:

    1. Eligibility:
    *Students must be four years old.
    *Must be registered for service.
    *Students must reside within the designated zone of the elementary school, except Ann Windle and Gonzalez School for Young Children. (For example, if a child's home school is Sandbrock Elementary, we will not transport them to Martinez Elementary.)
    *Students must live at least 2 miles away from the school. 
     
    2. Pick-up and Drop-Off:
    *Parents or guardians must be present at the bus stop during pick-up and drop-off times. 
    *Parents must maintain a distance of 15 feet from the bus doors. 
    *The designated bus stops will be communicated to parents before the start of the service. (It may take up to a week to get services.)
     
    3. Safety Procedures:
    *All Pre-K students must be seated and wear either a seat belt or a 3-part harness during the entire bus ride.
    *A bus monitor may or may not be present on the bus to assist in transportation. If a bus monitor is NOT present, it will be the responsibility of the older sibling to help secure the Pre-K sibling in the seat.
    *If siblings are on the bus, the Pre-K student must sit with them. 
    *Students must follow the bus driver's instructions at all times.
     
    4. Behavior Expectations: 
    *Students are expected to exhibit good behavior and follow bus rules to ensure the safety of all passengers. 
    *Repeated misconduct may result in suspension of bus transportation privileges.
