Each day, the Cherry Hill School District transports precious cargo—approximately 10,000 of our community’s school children. The safety and security of our riders is our number one priority!

We’re also committed to providing transportation services as consistently and efficiently as possible. You can assist us by remembering the following:

• Be prompt. Bus routes are posted at each school by the last week in August. Your child should be ready for pick up five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled pick up time. Please allow extra time for those important first-day photos and last-minute hugs before the bus arrives. Think of the delays that would occur if the bus were required to wait for each child on the route. Once a school bus is moving, it is not permitted to stop for the boarding of any child in between bus stops or after departing from the school.
• Be patient. Please allow for some fluctuation in pickup and drop-off times, particularly during the first two weeks of school. A number of factors are involved: Our bus drivers wait a little longer at each bus stop to accommodate students who are unfamiliar with the location … Many parents have questions and speak individually with the drivers … Other drivers on the road must adjust to having our buses in the traffic stream. Remember, too, that throughout the school year, bus schedules may be affected by inclement weather, road construction, or use of a substitute bus driver.
• Be present. Kindergarten children who attend morning sessions (9-11:30 AM) are picked up at their neighborhood bus stop location, then dropped off at their home at mid-day. A parent/guardian/older sibling must be present to receive the child; otherwise, the child will be returned to his/her school. Children attending afternoon kindergarten (1-3:30 PM) are picked up at their homes; please be waiting for the bus as our drivers are not permitted to blow their horns at any pick up location. Afternoon kindergartners are dropped off at their neighborhood bus stop at day’s end. A parent/guardian/older sibling must be present to receive the child.
• Be prepared for changes. Following the initial adjustment period, notification about any changes in bus routes or pickup time will be provided in a memo distributed by the bus driver. Changes are possible throughout the school year as a result of student additions, withdrawals, overflow students, open enrollment students, or address changes.

Again, the safety of your children is our top priority and we continue to make every effort to keep them safe and secure while transporting them efficiently. Your cooperation and patience are appreciated.
