Bus Passes
Children in grades K-3 will be given bus riding privileges if they live a 1/2 mile or more from school.
Children in grades 4-6 will be given bus riding privileges if they live 1 mile or more from school.
Bus riders must use assigned buses and bus stops. Students who are entitled to ride a school bus and choose not to do so can lose their bus riding privileges.
Bus passes are mailed every year at the end of August. Children are required to carry their passes at all times. Lost passes must be reported to the school principal immediately. Disruptive behavior affecting safety can result in the loss of bus riding privileges.
Release of Children at Bus Stops
Children in Kindergarten and 1st grade must have a parent or legal guardian receive them at the bus stop. Any other person receiving the child must be 18 years of age or older and registered with the Transportation Office. A picture ID shall also be requested. No child will be released under any other circumstances.
Private or Parochial School Transportation
Requests for transportation for K-6 children in private or parochial schools must be submitted on or by April 1, 2025. Requests received after April 1 may be declined. These late requests will be reviewed during the last weeks of August, and parents or guardians who filed late requests will be notified if their children will receive transportation.
New residents must apply within 30 days after establishing residency. Private or parochial school children still receive transportation to school when the Elmont UFSD is officially closed due to a recess or a holiday. When the district is closed due to an emergency or severe weather condition, all transportation is cancelled. When the district has a delayed opening, out-of-district transportation is provided only if weather conditions permit. Disruptive behavior affecting the safety of drivers and children may result in the loss of future riding privileges. For additional information and clarification, please call 516-434-2032.
PRIVATE OR PAROCHIAL SCHOOL CHILDREN MAY STILL RECEIVE TRANSPORTATION TO SCHOOL WHEN THE ELMONT UFSD IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED DUE TO A RECESS OR HOLIDAY.
