Bus:

- Find bus route and schedule information to your home campus at this link which will be available by August 7. Enter your address and grade level, do not select program, since CCA students ride shuttles from the home campus. Shuttles will have a Card in the window with CTE or CTE/CCA and a new location at Peach St.

- At the home campus, get on the CTE shuttle and notify the bus driver that you are a CCA student. Bus routes and CTE shuttles are in the same location on each campus. If there is not a CTE/CCA shuttle at the campus, go to the Main office and let them know you need a bus to take you to CCA. Mornings, shuttles should be available around 8:30AM. Bus locations at the home campus include the following.

- CHS: East side of the building (CCA shuttles up front near the yellow pole)

- NCHS: South side of the building by the Gym

- Crowley 9th: by the gym

- North 9th: in front of the building

- The CTE shuttle drops off CTE students first, then drives around to the CCA drop-off. We reverse this process in the afternoon.

- At the end of our school day, shuttle students will be released from class upon arrival of the home campus shuttle beginning around 4:05 pm. Please be patient during the first few weeks as Transportation works out appropriate routes and times. Transportation will ensure all students return to the home campus or their neighborhood regardless of delays.

Parent Drop-off/Pick-up:

- You may drop-off at the home campus, then catch a CTE shuttle there (see Bus section above). Parent drop-off at the home campus may be in a different location from the Bus area.

- Or you may drop-off at CCA following the CCA drive through our parking lot to the Drop-off location near the Student Entrance at the back awning. Please enter our campus from the south, from Longhorn Trail, since we will have a large number of busses entering from W Cleburne Crowley Rd. See the Student Drop-off Path attached.

Student Drivers:

- CTE parking permit is required to park in the CCA Student Parking lot. Parking permits may be purchased from the CCA office. Cost: $40.00 per year.

- Bring a copy of your driver's license and current insurance along with completed packet. Parking packets may be picked up from the CCA office.
