Which schools have waitlists

I only know that ATS did last year & Cardinal sometimes.

Its a real shame that an option school would have a waitlist given kids don't have an option to walk home in most cases.

They can take the bus and walk home from there, can't they?

if there's somebody home.

Are you saying it is ok to walk home a neighborhood school even if nobody is home, but it is not ok to take the bus and then walk home if nobody is home?

Yes, though our bus stop is really far from our house, so I'd never let a k-2 kid do the walk alone. For many option schools that's the case. Because there was push to hub stops to reduce transportation costs.

I agree wait lists at any school are a shame, but I really don't understand the walk home from school vs. walk home from bus point. Are you saying the walk zone from a bus stop is larger than for a school? Schools won't let K-2 walk home from school or from the bus.

We know that confuses you, you've said the same thing on 3 posts.

For option schools the bus stop could be fairly far away from a kids house.

As Has been said multiple times, option school bus stops are often (not always) NOT appropriate walking distance to homes as opposed to neighborhood school bus stops, they can be hub stops, in which they are too far for elementary school kids to walk home from Alone.

If APS is making option school kids walk further from bus stops than neighborhood school kids, that's definitely a problem. I hadn't heard that before. Thank you for clarifying.

On prior threads I have read complaints about the distance to bus stops but thought the issues were with both neighborhood and option bus stops, and just that the distance to the stop was further than before (but still within 1 mile). I wonder how APS justifies making kids walk further from a bus stop when they won't let them walk the same distance from school. (School walk zones are 1 mile). Makes no sense to me.

Option schools are farther. I had a kid in both. Neighborhood bus stop 2 residential blocks. Job stop 1/2 mile crossing 6 lane road.

But that’s not the point. The point is that dual income families, the people who need extended demos, are the people most likely to forget to register today. So let’s stop b1tchen’ about option schools and tell your friends. Love you.

Hub stop…

I don’t think the distance to the hub stops are more than 1 mile. I know of two within half a mile of my house but I live in a dense area. There’s also the fact that option schools are optional.

Then PPs claiming extra hardship for option families who are waitlisted for extended day are misinformed. That is all.

As another PP said, back on topic, register for extended day if you need it!!!

Cost. I mean, think about it they would basically have to have as many buses as all of the other neighborhood elementary schools combined

If someone knows where APS states the max walk distance for bus stops, and can share that, it would be really helpful. I’ve looked and can’t find it.

Are you under the impression that APS doesn’t let kids walk if they are more than a mile away?

The thing about option schools is that the bus ride takes considerably longer, it was nearly 30
Minutes for my kid, which gives some people enough time to get home before their kid, at least that was the case for some people I
Know.
