AF Amistad High School Family Handbook 2017-2018 | 14 involved in afterschool activities (See Appendix D) After Sports Practice/Games (Limited Basis, schedule varies) No afterschool transportation provided Transportation to AF Bridgeport MS, 529 Noble Ave Bridgeport Late Bus Stops Bunnell Street and Connecticut Ave; Grant St and Central Ave; AF Bridgeport MS, 529 Noble Ave; Boston Ave and East Main St; Huntington Turnpike and Priscilla St; Fairfield Ave and Clinton Ave; Fairfield Ave and Railroad Ave; Fairfield Ave and Whittier St; Atlantic St and Park Ave Contact for Real-Time Bus Issues, Driver Concerns, or Bus Behavior Issues Families or scholars experiencing real-time bus issues such as late bus, missed pick-up, etc., or who have concerns about the behavior/ability of a bus driver, should contact First Student directly at 203-772-0626 or B&B directly at 203-393-9750. The AFAHS Main Office opens at 7:00 am and closes at 5:00 pm (Monday—Friday), so staff would not be able to assist scholars with bus issues outside of those hours. In addition, AFAHS staff making bus inquiries to First Student and B&B call to the same number and personnel as families, so the added step of routing requests through AFAHS only delays answer to family and/or response from First Student and B&B. If New Haven families or scholars believe that their concerns are not being addressed by First Student, they should contact the NHBOE Transportation Department (203-946-8418) Bridgeport families may contact AFAHS. For concerns regarding behavior of scholars while on the bus, please contact AFAHS immediately. Bus Behavior Achievement First reserves the right to suspend an eligible scholar from the bus if he or she in any way threatens the safety and well-being of his or her peers. We believe that the right to free transportation is dependent on a scholar’s good behavior while waiting for and riding the school bus. Bus drivers must focus on the road to make sure all scholars arrive to school and home safely. At dismissal, scholars should go directly to their bus, greet the bus driver, and have a seat; scholars should not wait for other scholars, linger or socialize in the bus area. Scholars may not wait for a sibling, friend, or teacher. On the bus, scholars must remain in their seats, talk quietly, and follow all directions given by the bus driver. Scholars should not communicate with scholars on other busses or any people outside the bus. Scholars who behave poorly on the bus compromise the safety of themselves and others. Poor bus behavior may result in suspension or
