Transportation for Preschool

Overview of Transportation for Preschool

Families of NM PreK students will drive the student to and from school daily.

Transportation for Special Education Preschool students enrolled in a Special Education Preschool program will be provided according to terms identified in a student's Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 plan.

Students who are experiencing homelessness and are enrolled at the Mckinney Vento site for NM Pre-K may receive transportation based on need and availability.

Bus Cancellations/Delayed Start

In the event that it becomes necessary to delay the start of a school day due to weather, or other circumstances, Albuquerque Public Schools is implementing a standardized procedure to cover a “Delayed Start Announcement”. Should it be necessary to implement a delayed start, Albuquerque Public Schools officials will send a school wide phone call through “School Messenger” and will contact the local media sources and inform them to broadcast that “Albuquerque Public Schools will be on a delayed start of school”. This announcement will trigger the following predetermined actions:

• If there is a delayed day, due to inclement weather, there will be no bus service or program for special education preschool enrolled in a DPC classroom.
• NM PreK students will follow the abbreviated day schedule as the rest of your school site.

Educational Field Trips

Students must ride the bus to and from the venue of the trip. Family members who are chaperoning the field trip must ride the bus and must hold a current APS volunteer background check. Any family member without an approved background check will not be allowed to chaperone with their child on the school sponsored educational trip.
