Transportation

Lorri Weaver is our Lead Bus Driver and Mrs. Bovee is our Transportation Coordinator. If you have questions regarding transportation, please call the academy at 279-4686 during regular school hours. The bus dispatch phone number is 677-7473; please call this number to cancel pick-ups and drop-offs or for updates on bus route progress.

Student Pick-Up

We have multiple ways that students arrive and get home on a daily basis. We ask for your cooperation and patience as we make sure students get to their destination safely. Please note the following:

If you are picking up your students at the end of the day, please park in a parking space. Please do not interrupt the flow of traffic.

Elementary Car pick-up: The student car rider pick-up loop is located on Abbott Avenue. If this is your choice of pick up, be sure to get a car number from Ms. Scott. For this choice, parents remain in their cars and children are delivered to them as they drive through the loop. This number will connect you and your student in a quick, safe manner. Car Loading begins at 3:15 p.m. This process quickens as the year progresses. Students are never waiting outside.

Elementary Car Rider/Parent walk up to the building: Some students are car riders, but parents like to park on Elizabeth Street and walk up to the building and pick up their child. Unfortunately, we do not permit parents to walk into the building at the end of the day to find their student. This places unnecessary traffic inside the building and has the potential to be a safety issue. To accommodate parents that pick up their students but do not want to participate in the loop, we allow walk-up pick-up at the north end of the building near the gym doors. Parents will wait near the doors for students to be released. To begin the year, students will not be released from this room until 3:15 p.m.

Elementary Bus Rider: Students riding buses are released to gym then escorted the bus exit on Abbott Ave. Buses depart at approximately 3:20 p.m. This form of transportation takes the most coordination between home and family due to the scheduling of the routes. It is important that bus riding changes happen 3:00 pm. Last-minute changes often impact the drop-off time for multiple stops because the buses are held up to ensure changes are honored.

Elementary Walkers: We do not recommend students younger than fourth grade walk home by themselves, but understand that younger students walk home with older siblings. In the case that your child is a walker, they will be connected with their siblings and released from the building. Please communicate with your child’s teacher and the front office if your child(ren) are walkers.

Elementary/Secondary BATA: Some students ride the BATA bus home. BATA picks up at Pansophia Academy daily. Elementary students that ride BATA will be escorted to be picked up on Abbott Ave. Secondary students independently exit the building to board BATA.

Secondary Students: Secondary students are independently released to their rides.

Student Drop off (morning)

Students being dropped off in the morning should use the Elizabeth Street parking lot loop. Please note that as the morning traffic increases, the more dangerous it is to allow students to walk across the parking lot to enter the building. Please use the loop and remain in your car as your child enters the building. We do permit parents of younger students to enter the building and escort their children to their classroom at the beginning of the year. As your child becomes familiar with the process, please allow your child to become independent. We have staff members posted throughout the building to guide students.
