Parents, please follow the guidelines listed below for making this request. AFMS will submit requests starting on September 27th, and after we have all the correct and completed materials from parents. 

1. All three of the following items MUST be verified. If any one of these requirements is not met, the request will be denied:
   1. A copy of the joint custody agreement. A hard copy or electronic (AFMS will have to keep a copy on file)
   2. Verification of both parent addresses (Ex. Utility Bill)
   3. Parents will need to complete and turn in the following completed document: Joint Custody Dual Stop Request Form 2024-25
2. AFMS will then:
   1. Verify that all the above parental information is correct
   2. Verify that both parent addresses are in our school’s base assignment area
   3. Submit the approval request to WCPSS Transportation 
3. WCPSS Transportation's Process for Approval of the Request:
   1. AFMS’s support of the request does not mean that it will be accommodated
   2. Routes change during the first 30 days of school and ridership patterns change as well. WCPSS Transportation's ability to know if we can accommodate the request cannot be made until routes are finalized and ridership capacities determined. 
4. WCPSS Transportation's Criteria Review will include:
   1. Confirming both bus stops are in the school’s base assignment area
   2. Determining if there is an existing route and bus stop to support the request
   3. Determining if there is capacity on the bus 
5. If the transportation department can accommodate the request, based upon the conditions above, an email will be sent to both parents approving the request.  A copy of the email will be sent to the school administration.
