Transportation at Somerset College Preparatory Academy

2024-2025 School Year Bus Information

Please be advised, ALL stops are assigned by the Transportation Department, and cannot be changed.

Students are assigned to one stop and one bus only. Please remind your student to follow the bus rules, as it is a privilege and not a right to ride the bus. Please review this carefully to ensure your students arrive at their assigned stop at least 10 minutes prior to the stop time. Children should be standing out (weather permitting) at the stop and prepared to board as soon as the bus arrives.

If your child plans to ride an alternate bus home (riding to a cousin's home, going to a friend's house, etc.) we need to be notified via email, by noon of the day your child will be riding, otherwise, the driver will not allow that child to ride. Emails are to be sent to transportation@somersetcollegeprep.org. When your email is received and approved your child will receive a bus pass from the transportation department for that day only.

If you have moved and need to submit a change of address for transportation in your new area, please click on the link below

Please be sure to submit a Transportation Request, to ensure your child has room on the bus. If you have any questions, please contact transportation@somersetcollegeprep.org

Dear Somerset families-

Your child's safety and well-being is our top priority.

All children riding our buses are now required to wear their seatbelt when on the bus, per Florida State Staute 316.6145 (2) “Each passenger on a school bus that is equipped with safety belts or a safety restraint system shall wear a properly adjusted and fastened safety belt at all times while the bus is in operation.”

This rule applies to all Somerset buses used for school sponsored field trips, sporting events, as well as the daily routes.

Any child who chooses not to follow instructions to wear their seat belt while on the bus will have consequences, including detention, suspension from the bus, and/or possible loss of bus privileges.

This rule applies to all students riding our buses that attend Somerset Academy Bethany, Somerset College Prep Academy, and Somerset Career Academy.

Please speak to your students about this. Thank you for your understanding and your support in helping to keep our students safe.

Thank you
