Bus Stop Information/Restrictions

Except for kindergarten students who are picked up and dropped off at home when reasonable, the following criteria applies to bus stop walking distances:

Elementary students: up to 1/10th of a mile to a bus stop

Middle school students: up to 2/10th of a mile to a bus stop

High school students: up to 3/10th of a mile to a bus stop

Non-public school students: depending on grades, non-public school students would also adhere to the above bus stop walking distances. However, since most of these students are the only ones in their neighborhood, they generally are picked up at their homes anyway.

The streets noted below have certain limitations as to how pick-ups and drop-offs can be executed. Unless noted below, it is understood that all students can cross in front of the bus if necessary.

Aqueduct Road door stops only middle and high school only
Balltown Road door stops and central stops with sidewalk middle and high school only
