Transportation Information

Transportation Call Center 813-320-2562 

For the safety and well-being of your child, we do not encourage dismissal changes during the school day.  If an emergency arises during the school day and a change must be made, please call the school office.

District School Buses

Most bus stop locations will remain the same each school year.  During the first several weeks of the school year, morning pick-up and afternoon student drop-off times will vary.  Once all students who will normally ride buses begin to use bus service daily, and new routines are established, designated times may be observed. 

We understand and sympathize with schedule disruptions. Please remember our PRIMARY GOAL is to ensure safe transportation between the school and your student’s correct bus stop.

Rainy Day Dismissal

Delays in bus departures can be expected during inclement weather.  If the alternate dismissal is called, students remain in classrooms and are loaded one bus at a time.

Temporary Changes in Arrival or Dismissal

Cypress Elementary continues to require written notification of a child’s change of arrival and dismissal . A temporary change must be made in writing and include the reason for the change (i.e. childcare, etc). This can be done by writing a note in your child’s planner or emailing your child’s teacher from an email address familiar to the teacher. If the teacher does not recognize the email address as that of a parent or guardian or the email is not received in a timely manner (at least one day prior to the change) no change in transportation will be made. Please understand, last minute changes may not be feasibly accommodated; timely planning and consistency is needed for the safety of your child.

Permanent Change in Arrival or Dismissal

Permanent and long-term transportation changes must be done in one of two ways: in person at the front office (please have a photo ID with your name with you), or send in a written note with your child.

Please Note: Any change in residence address requires proof of residence.  A new bus pass will NOT be issued until proof of residence is received by the front office.
