District Bus Transportation

Any child living in the central zone further than one and one-half miles from school has the opportunity to be picked up from and dropped off at a designated bus stop each day. All transportation details and questions can be discussed by calling the BUSD Office of Transportation at 644-6182. At the school itself you can obtain a 1-day bus pass for special circumstances (your child goes home with a designated friend, for example), and this needs to be completed and signed by a parent. See Lorraine Mahley, Front Desk.

Public Transportation (AC Transit)

The 67 stops at Spruce/Marin, the southwest corner of Cragmont.
Schedules are available at any local library, or online at:  http://mobile.actransit.org/quicksearch.php?line_id=2274
Walking/Driving
There are multiple entrance/exit points to our campus.
 
Spruce Street Stairs.
For safety reasons, it is preferred that students be dropped off at the bottom of the stairs on Spruce Street, where a staff person waits in the morning to greet students. There is a school bus stop directly in front of the stairs, but there is a passenger loading/unloading zone in front of that. Please note that the passenger loading/unloading zone is limited to ten minute parking.

Regal Road (main office entrance).
If you drop your student/s at the front entrance, please park legally and walk your student in. Regal is a narrow roadway, where there are often deliveries.

Marin Avenue Driveway.
If you enter through the playground entrance on Marin Avenue, be advised that there is fast and dangerous traffic on Marin. Although there is a driveway on Marin, with a fire lane next to it, parking in both is prohibited at all times unless you are a BUSD maintenance vehicle or designated emergency vehicle, and traffic officers will and do issue tickets.

Parking.
If you are parking in the neighborhood, please be careful not to block any driveways. Your car may be towed as a result, but more importantly, we care about our neighbors and their relationship to our school.
