Will my child receive transportation to their Kindergarten through grade 8 placement?


Transportation eligibility changes as your child progresses in grades (see guidelines above). As a result, your child may not be eligible to receive transportation throughout all grades that they are in school. Parents of elementary aged children who select and accept a placement to a school outside of their Home Zone are not eligible for transportation services.

Transportation will not be provided for elementary students placed in schools outside their Home Zone, except for:

• Achievement First, located in Zone 1, will provide transportation to students in all 4 Home Zones if they are eligible under the transportation guidelines.

How do I know which schools are in my Home Zone?

Hartford has four school zones; if you are unsure what zone you live in, please call our office at (860) 695-8876.


Are Pre-K students eligible for transportation?


Children ages 3 and 4 in Pre-Kindergarten are NOT eligible for transportation.

Yes. Children who are in transition will be provided with transportation if student lives out of zone. If the student lives within the school zone, transportation will be based on the mileage parameters detailed above. Transportation services are reevaluated when a child's homeless status changes.

I am a foster parent. Can my child receive transportation to the school that s/he attended previously? What if it is in a different Zone?


Yes. Foster children will be provided with transportation to their school, regardless of school or Home Zone.
