Hello PPA Parent/Guardian(s),
As another school year comes to an end I wanted to make sure that you have all the information for your student(s) who will be requesting transportation via school bus for the upcoming school year of 2024-2025. It is very important that you follow your correct school district’s requirements being that each district may differ in procedures.
Columbus City School District
- If you completed an online application for your student(s), you will NOT have to submit an application again, the information will rollover for the new school year of 2024-2025.
- If you have recently moved, you MUST fill out a change of address (available on Patriot’s website under transportation and at the front office) and return to Mr. McAllister.
- For a new student attending Patriot, you must complete an online application for that student.
- If you have a Kindergarten - 2nd grade student, you MUST sign the DROP-OFF permission form allowing the student(s) to walk home alone, wait alone at the stop, or walk home with a sibling.
Deadline for ALL forms is Thursday, May 30, 2024. Reminder: If information is not completed and received by the deadline, this will cause a delay in your student’s routing for 2024-2025.
Groveport Madison School District
You MUST fill out a NEW application for each student in your household requesting transportation (available on Patriot’s website and the front office). Groveport Madison also requires:
- Proof of Residency, which is a current mortgage statement or lease agreement in the name of the Parent/Guardian. If the lease is month-to-month, a type-written statement on business letterhead, from the landlord must be provided. The letter must include the landlord’s contact information, address of rental, Parent/Guardian’s name, length of the month-to-month and the current date.
- Current Utility Bill - be that a water, gas, electric, landline phone, cable/internet are all acceptable.
Deadline is Thursday, May 30, 2024. These documents can be dropped off at their office located at 4400 Marketing Place or emailed to [email protected].
