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!

  • Arrive at the bus stop 15 minutes before the stop time.

  • Look for the run number in the right front window of the bus (last three digits). 

  • If you have any questions about bus stops, please call your child's school. Each school's phone number is listed at the top of its bus stop page.
