Student Transportation
The New Haven Public Schools provides school bus transportation for all scholars that reside within the city of New Haven. Bussing is assigned by the district’s Transportation Department, based on the family’s legal residence address at the time of student registration. Notification of bus stops and times is sent by the Transportation Department to all students in mid-August.
BTWA provides bus monitors to ride school busses with scholars each day at dismissal.
Per district policy, all Kindergarten and 1st grade students must be met by a parent or designated adult at their afternoon bus stop. Any student who is required to be met and is not will be returned to school, and must be picked up immediately upon notification to a parent, guardian and/or person(s) listed as an emergency contact.
