2026-2027 Bus Changes / Guest Riders
If your student needs to ride a different bus than the one for which they are registered, submit a Bus Change Request with 24 hours' notice. If your student needs to ride the bus as the guest of another student, both the guest and host parent must submit a Bus Guest Rider Request with 48 hours' notice.
CARPOOL
The School encourages parents to form carpools as an economical and convenient means of transportation that helps reduce traffic. Current families may locate Holton families who live near you in the Parent Portal online directory.
The School's 2001 Neighborhood Agreement restricts Holton traffic in various ways; carpooling is a vital step in complying with this agreement and reducing vehicular traffic to and from our campus.
Metrobus
Holton is also accessible via Metrobus. The T-2 route runs between Rockville and Friendship Heights and stops directly in front of Holton-Arms School.
