Safe and Reliable Transportation for All Eligible Students

The Hempstead Union Free School District is committed to providing safe, efficient, and timely transportation services for eligible students, including those attending district schools, Universal Pre-K (UPK) programs, and approved private, parochial, and charter schools.

Pre-K Transportation

All enrolled Universal Pre-K (UPK) students are eligible for transportation services.
Students are transported from their designated home school bus stop to their assigned UPK program location. Pick-up and drop-off times and locations are based on the home address provided to the Central Registration Department. Please ensure your address is accurate and up to date to avoid delays in service.
