The Owen J. Roberts School District is committed to providing child-care transportation services for eligible elementary and middle school students. To ensure a smooth process, please adhere to the following guidelines:
Application Process:
- Child-care transportation arrangements must be applied for annually and are subject to review and approval.
- It is recommended to submit child-care requests for the upcoming school year during the spring and summer but no later than the first Friday of August to facilitate readiness for the school year.
- Requests received during the school year will be processed in the order they are received. Until the request is reviewed, parents are responsible for arranging alternative transportation.
Guidelines for Submission:
Before submitting your request, carefully review the following:
-
The childcare provider must be within the attendance boundary of the student's school.
-
Requests should be submitted annually by the parent/guardian directly to the OJRSD Transportation Dept.
-
Changes or requests will not be accepted if submitted by the childcare provider.
-
Space availability is determined based on the rated capacity of the bus.
-
Requests must align with established stops listed on the transportation schedule. Stops will not be added at a childcare provider's home unless it qualifies as a licensed childcare facility.
- Example of licensed facilities: Warwick Daycare and Ducklings.
-
Bus and stop locations are scheduled weekly (Monday-Friday). Individual day requests are not permitted.
-
Parents are responsible for alternate transportation arrangements for any reason.
-
Upon approval, childcare transportation arrangements become the sole authorized transportation for the student.
Application Procedures:
- Complete the Childcare Transportation Request Form.
- The Director of Transportation will review all requests.
- Upon approval, notification of the approved childcare transportation will be sent to the bus contractor.
- Parents will be notified of the request status by the Transportation Dept.
- The request form will be filed with the Transportation Dept. for reference.
We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines to ensure the efficient provision of child-care transportation services.
