Transportation Options

Bus
Students are eligible for bus service if they live at least one mile from school. Busing to and from Saint Luke School is provided by all school districts in which our students reside. Requests for bus service should be made at the time of registration for Saint Luke the Evangelist School.

Special note for Cheltenham School District Residents:
All families/students who reside in Cheltenham Township must be registered with the township’s Pupil Services Department / Child Accounting Office in order to receive transportation. To register, call the Child Accounting Office (215-881-6321) to complete the registration process and prove residency in order to schedule your child’s transportation.

At dismissal time each day, faculty members escort students safely to their buses. All students utilizing the bus service are expected to display courteous behavior while traveling to and from school each day. Saint Luke the Evangelist School administration and the various township transportation services reserve the right to suspend a student from riding the bus should inappropriate behavior become evident. Children living in one township may not ride the bus to a friend's house located in a different township.

Car
In the morning, parents/guardians transporting their children to school by car should enter the parking lot at the Roberts Avenue entrance and drop off the student only at the designated place. After dropping child(ren) off, exit the parking lot by way of the Easton Road driveway.

At dismissal time, all drivers must enter the parking lot at the Roberts Avenue entrance and back into a parking space to await the line being escorted to the parking lot. If parking in the lower lot is impossible, parents/guardians may park on Roberts Avenue near the parking lot to await the arrival of their children. Exit the parking lot by way of the Roberts Avenue entrance.

Walk / Bike
Students who live near to school may walk or bike to school.

At dismissal time, faculty members escort walkers, with the assistance of safeties, to Easton Road, Sylvania Avenue, and Roberts Avenue.

Changes in Transportation
At the beginning of the school year, parents/guardians are asked to specify how their children will be dismissed from school at the end of the day. Any change in dismissal procedures, even if for only one day, must be communicated to the classroom teacher in writing. Children may not make transportation arrangements over the telephone.
