Transportation
The NYC Department of Education, Office of Pupil Transportation, handles all issues concerning busing, including eligibility. Please contact Mr. Elias Rodriguez, P.S. 51Q’s Transportation Coordinator, at (718) 850-0738. He will find out if your child qualifies for bus service.
If your child does qualify for bus drop-off and pick-up, remember to arrive at your designated bus stop at least 10 minutes before your bus is scheduled to arrive. Please remain on the sidewalk until the bus comes to a full stop. If you know that you will not be able to be at the bus stop to meet your child, please call the school office by 1:30 p.m. so that your child will not be put on the bus. Likewise, should the bus company alert us in time that a driver is running late, we will do our best to quickly contact you. Also, please review with your child the following safety rules:
- Children should be buckled once seated, and they should remain seated until the bus comes to a full stop.
- Only one child will sit on a seat on the bus. Heads, arms and legs must remain inside the bus at all times.
- Inappropriate behavior on the bus will result in loss of bus privileges.
