Transportation
Bussing
Great Hearts Harveston is contracted with First Student to provides bus transportation for families on a first come, first serve basis. In 2025 -2026 we will provide bus transportation to 70810, 70816, and 70817. If we add any additional zip codes it will be announced in the summer.
For students using the bus, if your student will not be riding the bus on a particular day, please contact the bus dispatch at 225-262-7699 and the school at 225-416-7611. If we have not been informed prior to 12:00 PM that a student may not be riding the bus, the student will be riding the bus.
As a reminder, if you did not indicate bussing needs on your student’s registration, your students are not qualified to ride the bus. To add your student to the bus roster, please visit the front office to fill out a bus request form.
For students arriving at school using private transportation, the school is using Curb for individual student dismissal. If you need a placard for your car, login to your SchoolAxis Parent Portal and print from your dashboard.
To request a seat for your child on the bus, you must complete our Bus Request Form and live in zip codes 70810, 70817, or 70816.

Transportation and pick-up changes
If you plan to check your student out from school, you must do so by 2:15 PM on full schedule days and by 12:30 PM on early release days. You may not check your student out after these times.
Parents/guardians MUST notify the front office daily if their student is not riding the bus in the afternoon no later 12:00 PM on full schedule days and 10:00 AM on early release days. This ensures your student will not be sent to the bus during dismissal.
If you are unable to reach the front office by phone, please email Ms. Tiffany at tiffany.sweeney@greathearts.org.
