Info

TRANSPORTATION Free transportation is provided for pupils who are New Rochelle residents enrolled in kindergarten through fifth grade only, and who live at least 1.5 miles but less than 10 miles from the school they attend. Students in grades 6-12 who are eligible will receive subsidized MetroCards for public transportation to and from school. No trips home for lunch are provided. Prekindergarten children attending school half-day--morning or afternoon-- are transported according to schedule. The district is not required to provide door-todoor service, except for pupils enrolled in special education programs. Students in kindergarten and their siblings will be dropped off at the home address following the 3:15 p.m. dismissal; however, such services do not include buses or vans entering private driveways, roads or dead-end streets. Safety Reminders: Parents should familiarize pupils with bus stop locations and ensure that pupils arrive at their stop on time. Pupils are transported to and from bus stop locations only. Children will be discharged at their assigned bus stop, even if there is no adult present to receive them, except for special education students. The safety of the pupil between the home and the bus stop location is the responsibility of the parent. Avoid arriving too early or too late. Stress the importance of remaining seated and reasonably quiet while the bus is in motion. Students should dress for weather conditions, and for visibility in inclement weather. Policies and procedures and evacuation drills are in place to ensure your child’s safety. Please support them. To maintain discipline, the school district reserves the right to suspend transportation privileges. Note: There will be a 15-minute required emergency early dismissal on Oct. 4, 2013. Application Procedures: To Private Schools - April 1 is the deadline for requests for free transportation for children in grades K-5 who attend private or parochial schools. Applications received after the April 1 deadline, (or requests for a change of school after April 1 on applications filed prior to April 1) will be approved only if additional expense is not incurred by the school district. Requests should be sent to: Transportation Office, City School District, 515 North Ave., New Rochelle, NY 10801. Anyone who moves into the district after April 1 has 30 days to apply for transportation. Transportation applications must be filed every year for students who attend non public schools through grade five.
