Parking & Transportation

Private Car Drop Off & Pick Up

Parents and others who drive students to and from school are encouraged to carpool and to stop only at designated points. Drivers should drop off and pick up students on Eastside in the transit center.  Do not exit your vehicle while in the street in areas identified as “moving traffic” lanes.

 

Bus Transportation

The time spent on the bus is considered an extension of the school day.   All school rules apply.   A   student who misbehaves on the bus may lose bus-riding privileges. Metro bus riders will be held to the same standards. Students zoned to Lamar who live more than two miles from school may apply for transportation through their Neighborhood Office.  If a student is attending Lamar on a transfer they may apply for transportation through their Neighborhood Office, but please note that not all transfers are eligible for HISD transportation.
