Bus Stop Tips: Since there may be several buses picking up children in the same area, we recommend ... Before the school year begins, you and your child visit the arranged bus pick-up location. Be sure your child knows the safest way to the exact location where the bus will stop. When taking your child to the bus stop on the first day, it is important to be at the pick-up location at least five minutes early. Your child should know the route number and the name of this year's school. This will insure that your child will board the correct bus. Each bus will have a sign located on the side of the bus in the second window on the door side for your convenience. You and your child should become familiar with your bus driver, but be aware that a different driver may substitute when needed. On line bus stop lookups will be available approximately August 15th.

Due to the number of calls that can occur at this time of year, we ask for your patience. Please call (301) 952-6570.   Could the bus stop change? Possibly.  As we receive new data from the student information system we will change bus routes to accommodate changes of address, new enrollments and program assignments.  Therefore we expect that while bus stop locations will remain relatively constant, bus numbers and stop times will change whenever a route is adjusted.  Based on past experience, we expect a great deal of change during late August and early September.  This web site always has the most up-to-date information. How does the system place bus stops? The locations of bus stops have been optimized by the computer taking into account the traffic safety issues of the streets in the area and the location of the children.  In most cases bus stops are at corners.  The stops are designed to be within approximately 1/4 mile of the student's home.  There have been no changes in the maximum walking distances, which remain at 1.5 miles for elementary schools and 2 miles for secondary schools. What if I don't find my stop? All of the bus stops are based on student addresses provided by each school. If you do not find a stop we may not have the right address.  Contact your school to be sure they have the correct address on file, including any day care addresses.  If the address is right call us at (301) 952-6570 and we will investigate the problem. When will I be notified about the bus stop? All parents will receive a letter approximately August 17th. with the location of the bus stop, the bus number and the pickup/drop off times.
