Buses & transportation
District page- Bus running late?Call the transportation office (7:00 am - 4:30 pm daily). When notified in advance, the Transportation Department will attempt to send an automated message for individual route delays of 20 minutes or more. As a friendly reminder, please be sure your contact information in Genesis is up to date for best service.
- Late bus after activitiesFirst Student - Berlin runs this school's late buses (routes ELR-1, ELR-2, ELR-3, ELR-4, ELR-5, ELR-6). Ask the school secretary which route your child is on. Only students eligible for daily transportation are permitted to board a late bus. Late buses are courtesy buses. There are no assigned bus stops. The location the student may be left off the bus could vary by the day and more than likely, will not be your child’s assigned bus stop but will be a stop within reasonable distance to their stop. Please contact your school’s secretary to learn which late bus your student is assigned to.
- Need a different stop for today?Permission to change buses, or bus stop, will be granted in cases of EMERGENCY ONLY. Students must ride on their assigned bus as well as get off the bus at their assigned stop. We will do our best to accommodate EMERGENCY situations that might require your child changing buses or pick-up and drop-off points for the current day. Requests to change bus stops must be sent to the principal in writing prior to 11:30am. The principal must approve any change in drop-off by signing the note. Upon approval, your request will be sent to the CHPS Transportation Department and the driver will be notified.
- Changing your regular bus stopValid bus stop change requests for existing bus stop locations will only be accepted until October 31st for the current school year. Following that date, only new move-in stops or extreme emergency changes will be considered. Bus stops must be consistent for time efficiency, student safety and driver's knowledge of route, especially substitutes. Bus stop change request form
- Left something on the bus?The CHPS Transportation Department's procedure is to have your student's driver hold on to anything found on the bus for 3 days before turning it over to the bus contractors’ office. Neither Cherry Hill Public Schools or our bus contractors are responsible for missing or damaged items. Lost items

Cell Phone Policy - Personal Internet Enabled Devices Prohibited
Beginning with the 2026-2027 academic year, New Jersey State statute prohibits personal internet-enabled devices (PIED) from being used in schools throughout the entirety of the school day, from bell-to-bell. Phones are expected to be off and away during the school day to support student focus and face-to-face engagement. Parents are asked to help support this policy.

Smart watches may be worn but only for timekeeping. Students are prohibited from recording audio or video at all times. Exceptions apply for devices documented in IEPs, 504 plans, or Individual Health Plans with prior School Nurse permission. Discipline for violations is governed by the Student Code of Conduct.

Bell-to-Bell Device Expectations
Personal electronic devices must remain OFF, AWAY, and OUT OF SIGHT from the opening bell to the dismissal bell. This applies during class time, study halls, lunch, passing time, and all instructional and non-instructional periods. Students should use school-issued technology for learning. The school continues to support students in meeting these expectations with supportive options available for those who need help managing their devices during the school day.
