The Banneker walking school bus operates every Tuesday and Thursday before and after school.
Here’s how the walking school bus works:
-
There are 2 different routes: east and west. The routes are shown below and can be changed slightly to accommodate new student participants.
-
First pick up in the morning is at 8:15am and students arrive to school by 8:45am. Students who live along the route will be picked up during the walk to school, one at a time out front of their house.
-
The afterschool walks will start at 4:10pm when the walkers are dismissed from school, and the last student will be dropped off at home by 4:40pm. Students who live along the route will be dropped off during the walk home, one at a time out front of their house.
-
The walking school bus coordinator will communicate with you to determine a morning pick-up time so you and your child can be ready when we come by.
-
Parents are encouraged to join the walks.
