Below you will find information about school transportation. If you would like your child to take the school bus or receive a Metrocard please return the appropriate form. (The links will download PDF forms for you to fill out and return to school. They will also be sent home the first week of school.)
Bus Routes 2024-2025 – These are the official times from the Office of Pupil Transportation. Some changes are to be expected. If your child has door-to-door bussing on their IEP, you can find their bus information in your NYC Schools Account.
Where’s the Bus?
There are Social Groups for each of our school’s bus routes on Konstella. If the bus is running late, breaks down or any other pertinent information needs to be shared school administration will use them to communicate with families. Parents can let each other know if the bus is running behind, or early! Note that messages will be delivered according to your Konstella settings, so you may want to check those if you would like to receive immediate text messages, for example. You can check your preferences under the “wheel” in the app (and then look for Notifications”) or Account Settings >> Notifications on a desktop. More information about Konstella is here.
The DOE has also rolled out an app, powered by VIA, that they say will allow you to track your child’s bus. It requires a NYCSA login and is available for iOs and Android. More information and links to download it, are here.
