Registration and payments for the Tuition Bus program for Howard Early Childhood Center, Alamo Heights Junior School, and Alamo Heights High School students is underway. For Cambridge and Woodridge students, registration and payments begin August 26 for bus service to start September 4.
Families should visit the Transportation Department office, located at 175 Rittiman Road, during normal business hours to provide payment. Cash, checks, or money orders are accepted and the cost is $450 per school year. Summer business hours, through the end of July, are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The Tuition Bus program is offered to families who live less than 2 miles from their campus and elect to pay for bus service. The tuition fee will be waived for families participating in the free/reduced lunch program and the Transportation Department will confirm eligibility.
If your child lives 2 miles or further from their school campus, you may qualify for free bus service. Registration for this service is now open. The online registration form can be found on the Transportation website.
Howard/Junior School/High School initial bus contract registration, payment, and free/reduced lunch status verification starts July 8, 2024 and closes August 4, 2024. This closing time allows us to create routes and be ready for the first day of school. Registration will start up again on August 26, 2024, and will continue all year.
After all information is complete and verified, phone calls with bus information will be made to Howard tuition bus rider families starting August 7-August 9, 2024.
Cambridge/Woodridge bus contract registration starts July 8, 2024 for tuition bus riders. Payment, and free/reduced lunch status verification starts August 26, 2024 (with no end date) so we can determine how many seats are available on each bus route (seating is limited). Registration AND Payment or Free/Reduced Lunch Verification must BOTH be completed to put your child on the waiting list.
Online bus contract registration MUST be completed BEFORE payment is accepted or free/reduced lunch application is verified.
For students who live 2 or more miles (“2+ mile”) from their school campus, the regular school bus contract registration must be updated every year and this began July 1, 2024. Students will not be allowed to ride until this is completed.
Bus contract registration applications are reviewed and approved and bus lists are updated for drivers every Monday morning.
Tuition bus families that register/pay/are verified the week of August 26 will be called on Tuesday (September 3, 2024 for the first week) with bus information to begin riding on Wednesday (September 4, 2024).
