Transportation

If your child needs a pick-up or drop-off due to an emergency, please call our office and we will be happy to accommodate you. If your circumstances change during the course of the school year, you may call our office to adjust your transportation needs. To request that your child is transported to or from locations other than school and your residence, please fill out the alternate pick-up and drop-off form. Alternate locations will be the permanent address for drop-off and pick-up (and that it may not be changed from week to week) and be located on a regularly established bus route at the time of day that is available on that route. The actual stop location assigned will be an already established school bus stop.

ALTERNATE PICK-UP & DROP-OFF FORM

A payment in lieu of transportation is a monetary compensation provided to families when the school district is unable to offer bus transportation for their child. This payment helps parents arrange alternative transportation to ensure their child can attend school. In June, at the conclusion of the school year, the district will reach out to verify attendance at a student's school. Once this step is completed a check will be sent at the reimbursement rate as determined by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce.

PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TRANSPORTATION WAIVER

Parents of students attending Beachwood Middle School or Beachwood High School, please be aware that students missing their bus at the school of attendance may NOT board their bus at the other location. This policy is for the safety of all student and will be strictly enforced. If your child wishes to ride home with a friend, please call our office the day of the request to get approval. Notes will not be accepted at the middle or high schools.
 
Thank you for allowing us to transport your children, and please remind them that the rules are enforced in order to ensure their safety each and every time they ride our school buses. Contact our office with questions regarding your child’s transportation.
