Bus Hub and City Routes Update

Hello Atascadero Families!  We are thrilled to launch this new school year and to reconnect with all of our families.  I hope you all had a restful and rejuvenating summer and that you share our excitement as we jump into the 2024-2025 school year.  

AUSD has been working closely with the City of Atascadero during the construction revitalization project of the downtown and the impact this project will have on our schools and our transportation systems.  Our priority continues to be the safety of our students, staff, and community.  With this in mind we will be making the following changes to the Bus Hub:

• AM Bus Hub location is unchanged and will remain at the bottom of the Fine Arts Campus and will continue to use the gate along West Mall

• PM Bus Hub: Relocation

  •   PM Bus Hub will be relocated to the back of the AMS Campus

    • Students will be within school fencing and will continue to be fully supervised.

    • Parents who pick up from PM Bus Hub will be able to pick up at the District Office pedestrian gate located on West Mall 

  • Rainy Day PM Bus Hub front of AMS Campus

    • In the event of a Rainy Day Bus Hub day families will receive notification via ParentSquare

  • High School Students: The sole bus pick up location after school for high school students will be at the high school.  

  • Students who attend Boys and Girls Club will be escorted to the Fine Arts Campus by one of our PM Bus Hub supervisors

• School Drop Off and Pick Up Routes:  Thank you to the City of Atascadero for developing a map with alternate routes to ensure families are able to navigate routes during the construction period.  Route map is attached to this communication. 

We are thankful for the support of the City of Atascadero and our AUSD families as we prepare for the new school year.  As we adjust to our new systems we will continue to work with our community partners to ensure the safety of our students. We look forward to seeing all of our AUSD families!
