Transportation Information And Bussing

Your child’s transportation to CTC Academy is provided by your local Board of Education. You will receive information regarding the times your child will be picked up and dropped off at home by your school district (typically the Transportation Services or Special Services Department). You are responsible for making sure that your child is escorted to the bus in the morning and that there is an adult present to receive your child when he/she is dropped off in the afternoon. For safety purposes, children are not allowed to eat or drink on the bus.

Please notify the bus company (i.e., not the bus driver) if you are planning to drive your child to or from school on any given day. It is also important to inform them when your child will only be transported one way by bus. Informing the bus company will ensure that your child will be picked up safely and at the appropriate time and location. Parents are not permitted to ride the bus to school with their children. If your child has not arrived home at their regular time please call the school and speak with the Principal.

Car Seats, wheelchairs and/or strollers are secured by Bus Company personnel. The lists below contain some of the safety protocols bus companies follow in order to ensure your child’s safety.
