Transportation
Welcome to the Pembroke Public Schools Transportation Link. We hope you will find everything you need to know about our Student Transportation services on this site. If not, all student transportation, route assignments, bus discipline and bus fee questions can be directed to your child’s school or to this office. Bus Routes for the 2008-2009 school year will be available on this site and will also be printed in the local newspapers approximately 2 weeks prior to the beginning of school.
The Pembroke Public Schools offer free transportation to all students in grades K-6 who attend Pembroke Public Schools and live two or more miles from their assigned school. All other students are eligible to partake in the fee-based busing program.
Providing safe and consistent transportation services to our Pembroke students is our goal.
REMINDER---
Please be advised that if your child attends Pembroke Community Middle School or Pembroke High School and require transportation, they must show their issued pass to the driver in order to board the bus.
IF you have a child at the Elementary Schools they will receive their pass on the
first day of school. Please note bus route numbers have changed on numerous
