Transportation Info & Guidelines - Welcome Back Letter 2026-2027
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!
We’re so glad to have you back!
The “Bus Route Information” tab in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal will show your child’s bus stop location and time. The arrival time for the bus is an estimate for the first few weeks (earlier or later than the time in the Parent Portal) of school until normal routines are established by the bus driver. When after school activities begin, you will find those activity bus routes posted on your child’s school website.
The following guidelines are in place for everyone’s safety. Please ensure your child is aware of these protocols and understands how to follow them.
· To responsibly manage the transportation budget and follow all safety requirements, it is important that bus stops and routes established by the District be strictly adhered to.
· Students must arrive at the bus stop 5 minutes prior to the estimated bus arrival time.
· Students are not to wait inside their homes for the bus to arrive; students who are not at their assigned bus stop when the bus arrives will risk missing their bus. For everyone’s safety and the efficient operation of the transportation program, bus drivers cannot delay the route while waiting for a student to arrive at the stop.
· Students need to be at their assigned bus stop only since each seat is accounted for.
We will continue to pilot the parent app, Stopfinder with our current big bus routes. This app will enable you to see when the bus is approaching your child’s assigned bus stop … instructions and further details will be shared on Monday, September 29, 2025.
The beginning of any new school year comes with the typical arrival, loading and unloading delays; we appreciate your patience with us and our community. Bus riding is a privilege and may be suspended or revoked for inappropriate or dangerous conduct. Please be reminded that our buses are equipped with audio and video recording devices which may be used to assist the District in identifying instances of questionable behavior.
Throughout the course of the year, should you have concerns regarding routes, pick-up issues, driver information or safety problems, click the “Help Form” link below so we can respond to you in the most efficient manner:
Please be aware that there will not be any bus stop changes for at least 30 days after school starts. For matters related to behavior concerns on the bus, please contact the appropriate building’s Principal or Assistant Principal.
The District’s website contains valuable information regarding the transportation program. It can be accessed by visiting www.hhh.k12.ny.us and then selecting “Transportation” from the “District” drop-down menu.
We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to a safe and healthy school year!
Sincerely,
Maurita Coleman Simpson
Transportation Supervisor
