Bus Transportation

Holy Cross School is pleased to offer bus service for students in grades 5-12 commuting from areas outside of New Orleans. 

Buses are planned to arrive at Holy Cross each morning by 7:40 a.m. When buses are late due to situations out of our control, Administration is notified providing the student with an excused tardy slip.

Buses leave campus in the afternoon 15 minutes after dismissal. Normal dismissal is at 3:10 p.m., thus buses leave at 3:25 p.m.

Holy Cross offers six bus locations. Below are the locations and approximate times:

Route	Stop Location	AM Departure	PM Arrival
Belle Chasse	Balestra's/Breaux Mart	6:50 a.m.	4:05 p.m.
