Ensuring your child has safe and reliable transportation to and from school is a top priority. Avon Transportation is dedicated to providing efficient and timely bus services for students within the Avon school district. Whether your child is newly enrolled, a current student, attending Area 31 programs, or a senior at Avon High School, understanding the process for arranging school bus service is essential. In most situations, transportation arrangements can be initiated within 36 to 48 hours.
New Student Enrollment for Avon Transportation
If you are enrolling your child in an Avon school and require bus transportation, please follow these steps to ensure a smooth setup:
- Contact the School: Begin by contacting your child’s school directly to request that they be added to a designated bus route.
- Address Verification: The school secretary will verify your address information and then communicate your transportation request to Avon Transportation.
- Transportation Confirmation: Avon Transportation will process the request and confirm the specific bus details with the school secretary.
- Parent Notification: Finally, the school secretary will share the confirmed bus route details, including pick-up and drop-off times and locations, directly with you.
- Authorization Affidavit: Parents of preschool, kindergarten, and special education students are required to complete an authorization affidavit, which can typically be found in the school’s forms section or website.
Arranging Transportation for Currently Enrolled Students
For parents of students already enrolled in Avon schools who need to add bus service, the process is similar and equally efficient:
- School Contact: Reach out to your child’s school to request the addition of your student to an existing bus route.
- Route Addition Communication: The school secretary will communicate your request to Avon Transportation for bus route adjustments.
- Bus Detail Confirmation: Avon Transportation will confirm the bus details and any route changes with the school secretary.
- Parent Communication: The secretary will then relay the bus schedule and pertinent details back to you.
Avon Transportation for Area 31 Program Students
For parents or guardians of junior or senior high school students attending Area 31 programs, such as Ben Davis, Brownsburg, PJ’s Cosmetology, or Aviation programs, specific arrangements are necessary.
- Direct Transportation Contact: You must directly contact Avon Transportation to arrange bus service for Area 31 programs.
- Early Program Start Times: Be aware that Area 31 morning programs commence earlier than Avon High School classes, necessitating advance transportation planning. Consider satellite options mentioned in school notices for potentially convenient alternatives.
- Parent-Initiated Arrangement: Avon Transportation will only provide service upon direct notification from a parent or guardian. Please call the Transportation center at (317) 544-6140 to make arrangements.
Avon High School Seniors and Bus Services
If you are a parent or guardian of a senior attending Avon High School who requires bus service, it is crucial to take proactive steps to secure transportation:
- Transportation Office Contact Required: You must contact the Avon Transportation office directly to arrange bus service for senior students.
- Non-Automatic Enrollment: Senior students are not automatically placed on bus rosters at the beginning of the school year.
- Proactive Notification: Even if your senior student was a bus rider in previous years, you must notify Avon Transportation as soon as possible if they intend to use the bus service this year.
- Contact Information: To arrange transportation, please contact the Avon Transportation center by phone at (317) 544-6140 or via email at [email protected].
Avon Transportation is committed to ensuring all eligible students have access to reliable and safe school bus services. By following these guidelines and contacting the appropriate channels, you can efficiently arrange transportation for your child.
