How do I register my child for bus transportation service?

Parents/guardians whose children are eligible for bus transportation are asked to register to receive bus service each year. Families whose students have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a Section 504 plan that includes transportation do not need to register.

The transportation registration process is completed online via HCPSS Connect Synergy and must be done for each child eligible for bus service. See the Transportation Opt-In Directions for details on how to complete.

What happens if my needs change during the school year?

Please share this information with your school. They will be able to determine if you can adjust your request at that time or if have you wait until the next opening of the registration process. There will be predetermined times throughout the year that allow families to change their transportation request.  These dates will be quarterly and will most likely fall around the marking periods.

 

My student plays a sport or stays after school and will not need transportation after school for an extended period of time. Should I still register?

There will be predetermined times throughout the year that allow families to change their transportation request. We anticipate these dates will be quarterly and will most likely fall around the marking periods. 

Why was my student previously eligible for bus service but isn’t eligible now?

HCPSS Policy 5200 Student Transportation extended the distance between a student’s home and school that determines their eligibility for bus transportation. Utilizing transportation software, measurements will begin at the property boundary of the school/school campus from the closest adjacent suitable pathway and end at the property line of the bona fide residence.
