School Bus Services
Minneapolis
By state law, DeLaSalle students who live in Minneapolis are eligible for free school bus transportation to and from DeLaSalle through the local public school transportation program. DeLaSalle has contracted with Monarch Bus Service to service bus routes for De students living in Minneapolis at no charge to the families. Service routes are created for all students living in Minneapolis, there is no need to register for Minneapolis service. Monarch Bus Service mails route information to families in mid-August.
St. Paul and Suburbs
Because of growing enrollment outside the city limits, DeLaSalle provides a few school bus routes to St. Paul and suburban areas. Attempts are made to provide timely and efficient service to as many families as possible. Occasionally this has entailed establishing a "central stop," but usually stops are established near each student's residence. During the past five years, DeLaSalle has provided school bus transportation for students from Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Columbia Heights, Crystal, Edina, Falcon Heights, Golden Valley, Hopkins, Little Canada, Maplewood, New Brighton, New Hope, Plymouth, Richfield, Robbinsdale, Roseville, St. Anthony, St. Louis Park, and St. Paul neighborhoods. DeLaSalle bus service routes are re-drawn each summer based upon contract requests. To make a request for service for students living outside of Minneapolis, parents and guardians must complete the Busing Agreement Contract as soon as student enrollment is confirmed.
Many public school districts provide transportation cost reimbursements for families attending DeLaSalle. DeLaSalle will provide qualifying families with necessary information for the reimbursement process.
