Transportation
With three separate campuses, we often have unique transportation needs for our students to travel between campuses. Morning bus transportation between our campuses is available for a yearly fee. Afternoon buses are available at no cost from our Downtown Campus to Whitney Bank; however, there is an annual fee to ride the Downtown Campus to Sugar Mill Pond Campus bus. All students must sign up ahead of time to ride any of our buses.
Buses
Bus Sign Up is included in the Back-to-School forms sent in July.
Bus groups will be created, and communication will begin in early August.

Student Drivers
Students with valid licenses may drive to school, after-school events, or weekend school events. Responsible driving is expected at all times. Seniors, faculty, and visitors are to park in the main parking lot. All other students must park in the gym parking lot. Students may not be in the parking lot or go to their cars during the school day without the school office’s express permission. Violations of driving/parking rules may lead to the loss of campus driving privileges.
For the safety of all, cell phone use is prohibited when dropping off or picking up your child.
Parent Drop-off & Pick-up
Each campus has specific carpool routes and protocol for morning drop off and afternoon pickup. Please refer to the resource section on your Blackbaud account for campus specifics.
