DeMatha offers school bus transportation from various areas and also provides transportation to Elizabeth Seton Catholic High School. DeMatha and Seton students who sign up for round-trip transportation are given first priority over those who use the services one-way.Bus service includes a morning trip, return trip, and services on mid-term and final exam dates. The DeMatha and Seton school calendars are used with considerations for specific events and situations. DeMatha will decide delayed openings and early dismissals.

In general, pickup locations are typically at centralized points to facilitate a quick and safe collection of students without delaying traffic. Afternoon drop-offs consider quick and safe locations, generally in the same vicinity as the morning pickups. We cannot provide "door to door" service due to timing and traffic patterns, especially during morning rush hour periods. In the past, centrally located pickup and drop-off points have worked out very well.
