Buses cannot be redirected in the morning for students who arrive after departure. If a student misses the afternoon bus, they may ride the late bus at 6:10 p.m. Students who miss the 6:10 p.m. bus will be instructed to call their parents to make other transportation arrangements.

Please contact Student Transport Dispatch at 404-765-4520 at your earliest convenience. Some of our routes have multiple stops and it is important that we transport all students home in a timely manner. To avoid extensive delays with other families, your child’s bus may have to continue with the route, and then circle back to your stop. The Dispatch operator will be able to inform you with a specific plan.

Students who register for Campus Connect will not be permitted to ride other buses without paying a fee.) We recommend you email arrive@woodward.edu to advise Student Transport of any changes.
