BUS PASSES

If your child is riding the bus this year, even if it’s occasionally, you can purchase bus passes two different ways:

1. On the AZ Lutheran website

Under Parent Resources > Pay Online: Tuition, Housing, Bus Passes, Misc.

Please email Mrs. Solofra to let her know you’ve purchased a ticket so she can give it to your child at school.

2. Stop in the office or send your child to the office with payment to receive the bus pass.

BUS SERVICE

Morning Routes

• The first ride on Wednesday morning will be complimentary. A bus pass will be required beginning Wednesday afternoon.
• A ten-ride pass may be purchased in the office or online for $42.50. The student then brings this card to be punched for each ride. If a card is forgotten or has not been purchased, the ride will be charged to the family account.
• The pickup/dropoff point will be in the parking lot at Pilgrim (Mesa) and at Emmanuel (Tempe).
• The pickup point for Grace (Glendale) will be in the parking lot to the south of church at Palmaire and 56th Avenue while the dropoff will be in the school parking lot off Myrtle.

Afternoon Routes

• A pass will be needed starting August 12.
• Students simply go to the bus departure point right after school. Buses depart at 3:10pm.
• Time of arrival at the dropoff is traffic dependent.
• The north route will go only to Grace at this point (please let me know immediately if a need to go to Emmaus exists).
• The east route will stop first at Emmanuel and then go on to Pilgrim if riders need that leg.

BUSING SERVICE

This is a final reminder. Please be sure we know if your child will be riding the AZ Lutheran bus in the mornings to get to school (from Grace, Emmanuel, or Pilgrim).

 

1. If you received a contact from us and confirmed it, you are on the list.
2. If you contacted Mr. Rosenbaum and received a reply, you are on the list.
3. If neither #1 or #2 applies, you are most likely NOT on the list.

Please contact Mr. Rosenbaum at Rosenbaum@ALAcoyotes.org ASAP if you need to confirm the riding status.

BUS SERVICE REMINDER

AZ Lutheran's bus service will begin on August 12 with a complimentary morning run. The after-school run requires a paid ticket.

The East Valley bus runs from Pilgrim Lutheran School in Mesa to Emmanuel Lutheran School in Tempe and then to AZ Lutheran.
The North Valley bus runs from Emmaus Lutheran School in Phoenix to Grace Lutheran School in Glendale and then to AZ Lutheran.

If you are on our list of planned riders, you should have received a direct communication from the principal on July 29. If you did not receive such an email, then you are not on our list. Please email Mr. Rosenbaum at Rosenbaum@ALAcoyotes.org and share the following information:

• Which days will you use the service? Every day? Occasionally? Certain specific days?
• Which students in your family will ride?
• At which school will you pick up the service in the mornings?

An afternoon bus will also run, but there is no need to sign up for that one in advance.

Responses to these questions are required by Wednesday, August 5, 2026.
