Would love to know this as well.

Thanks Nichole for organizing this. After IT families have filled seats, will remaining seats be offered to Lee families?

Sorry for late response. I think you may be the parent that emailed me from another school. If not, feel free to email me.

Quick update - for any newly accepted parents, please let me know if you want more info about the shuttle. We have about 9 spots left for the 16th St shuttle.

Thanks
Nichole

Nichole how did this get started???

Good question. I will inquire with the schools to see if it is something that can be worked out. FYI, we also submitted a proposal with DDOT last month to add a direct bus route from RI or Brookland metro stops that would serve ITS, Lee, Doar, and Imagine Hope. We have heard that it is a little difficult to get approved right away and they only accept applications every March, but we are hopeful it will be a possibility soon. Will post back about shuttle/Lee. What time do they let out of school?

Also, feel free to join our FB community and inquire with ITS families about potential carpools.

Lee starts at 8:45. So the shuttle with an 8:30 arrival would indeed work.

Lee and IT will have different start times, is what I heard.

Is this open to lee families?

We have almost half the spots accounted for since this afternoon. If you know anyone considering this option, please share.

Thanks again

Thanks! We will most certainly be applying next year. I would say "we should have applied this year" but given that I may have had the very last lottery number, we would never have gotten in anyway. I'm really impressed that the parents banded together to do this.

Kudos to the IT families who are organizing this.

The vendor's license allows as young as 3 years old. Car seats can be left on the bus year round. Thanks!

I didn't apply to ITS because of location but may try next year if there is a shuttle bus--that is awesome! Just curious whether it is something a 3 or 4 year old could do or whether it's really for the older kids.

Also, follow the family association on Facebook!

Hello new ITS families. We are accepting registration commitments for the NW shuttle bus. Registration will be first come, first serve. Please see the following google doc registration (also look out for email directly from the school). Feel free to email me directly for any questions.
