Herricks Public Schools

Information for Non-Public Transportation

If your child requires transportation to a non-public school, transportation will be provided in accordance with NYS Education Law.  A Non-Public Transportation Request must be submitted to the District Transportation Office by April 1st for the upcoming school year.  Transportation will be provided to the non-public school of choice, up to the statutory 15-mile limit within the mileage eligibility requirements.  Students in grades K-5 must live more than .75 of a mile and students in grades 6-12 must live more than 1.5 miles from their school of attendance.  If the school is undecided at the time of application, families should submit requests for each possible school choice.  School choice must be given to the transportation department via email (transportation@herrricks.org) by April 1st each year or within five (5) days of the school's admission decision (verified with letter).

All students must be registered with the District to receive services.  Unregistered applicants can register by contacting the District's Registrar at (516) 305-8987 or complete the registration form for non-public school students found on this webpage.  Families who have not previously registered for non-public school services (transportation, books) will need to complete the registration process for non-public students.

Transportation will be provided to non-public school students in accordance with Herricks UFSD School Calendar with consistent arrival and dismissal times.  

Families moving into the District after the April 1st deadline must submit requests within 30 days of establishing residency.
