Pembroke Pines (K-12) Campus - School Info

Transportation Information

Busing

Once your child has been accepted to Franklin Academy, you may request bus transportation during the online registration process. Transportation is available on a limited basis for students who live more than 2 miles from the campus. If you live within two miles of the campus, you must provide transportation for your child(ren).

If you live more than 2 miles from campus, Franklin offers “depot” stops, where families can bring their students to meet the bus. Many of the “depot” stops are conveniently located in the general vicinity of Franklin’s K-8 campuses located in Pembroke Pines, Cooper City and Sunrise. The “depot” stop transportation option is offered on a first come first serve basis, as space is limited.

Please enter your home address only. When transportation is assigned, a bus pass will be emailed. Bus passes for registered students will be emailed two weeks before the start of school. Bus stops are subject to change from year-to-year.

Parent Vehicles

Parents are welcome to drive their students to and from our campus. Franklin Academy utilizes DashPass as our dismissal system to manage pick-up and drop-off traffic. Detailed procedures on the arrival and dismissal processes can be found in the Policies & Procedures section of the website.

In the COVID-19 era of education, school safety protocols are paramount. DashPass is an easy, automated mobile platform to extend facility-wide security measures through the entire dismissal process. Learn more about DashPass here.
