BUS ROUTE MAP & DEPARTURE/ARRIVAL INFORMATION

Bus Map 2016 17

(Updated 9/5/16)

MORNING PICK UP

WEST CAMPUS BUS PICK-UP BEGINS AT  7:00 am.
EAST CAMPUS BUS PICK-UP BEGINS AT  7:55 am.

The bus begins at stop #1 and then moves along the route in numerical order. Due to traffic, weather or other factors, we are unable to specify exact times for each stop. We encourage students to arrive at their stop a little early, to make sure that they have ample time and are present when the bus arrives.

The bus will leave the neighborhood after the last stop and drive directly to campus. Students who are riding the bus will not be marked tardy even if the bus is delayed.

East Campus Drop-off is on Dearborn, directly north of Walton and south of Oak. In the mornings, students will be escorted up the ramp along the front of the school and into the main entrance.

West Campus Drop-off and dismissal is North of the school, east of the parking lot on W. Huron.

REMINDER: It is your student’s responsibility to be at the bus stops promptly. The bus does not circle back to pick-up students who miss the bus. If a student misses the bus, it is the responsibility of each family to make other transportation arrangements to get their student to and from school.

Neighborhood Bus Stops

The bus stops in order are:
1) 155 Harbor Drive
2) 175 North Harbor Drive
3) 450 East Waterside
4) 400 East Randolph
5) 360 East Randolph
6) 225 North Columbus

BUS PASSES

Students must have their bus passes to board the bus, especially in the afternoon at school. In the past, we’ve had a few students try to board our buses who did not belong. We were able to determine they were on the wrong bus because they did not have bus passes. Bus passes help ensure students are in the right place.

AFTERNOON DISMISSAL

West Campus Drop-off and dismissal is North of the school, east of the parking lot on W. Huron.

East Campus Pick-up will be at the corner of Dearborn and Oak, on the northwest corner of the school. Susie Tanner will be at East campus for dismissal for the first few days to help students learn the routine. Please notify your student’s teacher in writing that for 2016-2017, your student will be riding the Ogden New Eastside Pay Bus.

Make sure your student knows at dismissal, they should walk west to the end of the main floor hallway (past the security desk) to the Dearborn/Oak street staircase in the northwest corner. Students should go down the stairs, exit the building and immediately get on the first bus parked on Dearborn.

 LATE AFTERNOON BUS

After School Activity Route
At 5:00 PM an AI Bus Service bus should be waiting to pick-up West Campus students.

West Campus Students board this route in front of the MAIN ENTRANCE to the school at 1250 W. Erie in front of door #1. West campus students may remain inside the school and wait for the bus before leaving the building. The bus will proceed to the East campus and pick-up students at the same bus stop, at Dearborn and Oak, on the northwest corner of the school.

East Campus Students should be at the window watching for the bus at 5:05 p.m. The bus will pull up, wait a few minutes, then leave to the neighborhood.

J at School
We do not work or communicate directly with J at School. If your student attends J at School, be sure to notify them in writing or email that Ogden New Eastside After school activity bus home. It is the responsibility of the parents/guardians to work with J at school to make those arrangements.

The arrival times at our neighborhood stops in the afternoon will depend on the traffic between school and home, and times may vary. Protests, Presidential Barricades, construction, weather and other unforeseen circumstances may alter return times.
