NNPS 2008-09 BUS STOP INFORMATION
Newport News Public Schools’ user-friendly Bus Stops and Zones Webquery system allows parents and students to input a home address and grade level to determine the bus stop closest to the home address. In addition to providing a listing of scheduled bus stops and the approximate walking distance from the home, parents and students may view a neighborhood map.
Bus stop schedules will also be available at elementary school open houses from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 28; middle school open houses from 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, August 27; and high school new student orientations the morning of Friday, August 29. Contact your child’s school with bus stop questions.

Please remember! Run times may vary significantly during
the first week of school until all students have registered and
adjustments are made due to construction, traffic and final student
loads. During the first week of school, students should arrive at
the bus stop 15 minutes before the published stop time. If the bus
has not arrived by the published stop time, students are asked to
remain at the bus stop for another 15 minutes. If the bus has not
arrived by then, please call your school for assistance. After the
first week of school, students should arrive at the bus stop 10
minutes before stop time. Please keep a lookout and be prepared
to stop. Remember,
passing a stopped school bus is against the law!
