Bus stops and schedulesBUS STOPS & SCHEDULES
If your student rides the bus, be sure to check the bus schedule information. Some bus numbers and times have changed since last year. To view bus stops & pick up/drop off times, click here.

Reminders: Morning pick up and afternoon drop off times are approximate. Please have your student at the stop 5 minutes before morning stop time. We ask for your patience in the first few weeks of school as we learn which students plan to ride the bus, add stops for new students, and make adjustments to routes as needed. Check for updates to times and route information and view the School Bus Rules & Expectations on the Transportation page of this website.

Child Nutrition ProgramCHILD NUTRTION PROGRAM
During the pandemic, federal waivers allowed schools to offer free meals to all students. Those waivers expired on June 30, so now we must charge families for meals unless they apply for and are approved to receive meal benefits. Pelham City Schools strongly encourages all families to complete the Free & Reduced Meals Application before the start of the school year. Families must pay for school meals until their application is processed and approved, so please apply as soon as possible.

Visit the Child Nutrition Program page where you'll find:

  • Menus 
  • MySchoolBucks information for student accounts
  • Online application for free & reduced meals
  • and more!
