Morning Transportation

BEFORE SCHOOL

Freshman students utilize two basic options for transportation to Union High School each morning:

• Ride by car with a parent, sibling, or older peer, etc.

  • Renegade Regiment students must arrive at campus via this method

• Ride the High School bus route that serves their neighborhood. To find the correct route and bus stop click Here

  • Enter your home address and select UNION HIGH SCHOOL in the drop-down menu that shows “All Grades and Schools”)

Please note:

• Your neighborhood's Freshman Academy bus route will not provide transportation to the UHS campus.

• Shuttle transportation from the Union Freshman Academy to Union High School before first period class is NOT available (Renegade Regiment students must arrange for their own daily transportation throughout the fall competitive season, which ends on Oct 28).

Inter-Campus Shuttle Transportation After First Period

All freshman students will ride a shuttle bus from Union High School to the Union Freshmen Academy at end of 1st period band class rehearsals, daily. This shuttle departs at 9:25am and arrives at the UFA just prior to the beginning of 2nd period class. Shuttle Bus #’s are 09, 31, 37, 39, 41 & 45 (#’s are subject to change).

In the event that a freshman student misses the shuttle bus, he/she should NEVER: walk to the UFA, nor ride in a peer-driven vehicle without permission of both the driver and rider. The student should communicate to a teacher about the missed bus, and efforts will be made for the student to ride a secondary specially-scheduled bus.
