Route information for large buses for the 2025-25 school year is now available on the Transportation page of the district website. HPS will contact families directly with minibus route information. Once school begins, families can track the location of their child’s bus through the My Ride K-12 mobile app that can be downloaded to iPhone and android smart phones. Just follow these easy directions to get started.
Families should keep the following guidance in mind:
Students should arrive at the bus stop at least 10 minutes prior to the time listed and may wait up to 10 minutes after the time listed. This includes students with door-to-door transportation on their IEP. All students are expected to be waiting outside for their bus. Bus arrival times may change due to traffic and weather conditions.
Students in PreK-2 must be met by a parent or authorized adult. Bus drivers will not drop off students in these grades without an authorized adult present. Authorized adults should be able to present a picture identification (photo ID). If an adult is not present at the bus stop, the student will be brought to the Enrollment Services office located at 57 Suffolk Street, 1st floor. Call (413) 534-2000, option 1 to reach Enrollment or Transportation staff. Families should pick up their children in the Enrollment Services office within 30 minutes of being notified.
More information is available on the Transportation page of the district website.
