East Campus Transportation

Flexible bus scheduling by day, trip, and time! As part of each student's transportation plan, there is the option to sign up for the bus if they expect to use it on a regular basis, and no fee for either daily or occasional use

Bus Departure Times
All bus routes leave at the end of the school day at times that adjust based on any special schedules. We offer two school bus options in the afternoon on the East Campus, Monday through Thursday, 3:35 p.m. and 6 p.m., for students who need to stay late for sports, after-school activities, or to take advantage of our libraries and tutorial resources. Friday there will be two departures at 2:45 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. 

NOTE: “Express stop” means the bus goes directly from that location to school; it is the closest stop to the East Campus. We encourage families to drop off/pick up here rather than fighting traffic to campus in the morning and afternoon.

*Routes and bus stops are subject to change based on sign-ups. We will update routes and schedules, if needed, after we receive families' transportation plans and will notify parents of any changes.

Cost
There is no additional cost for school bus service.

Campus-to-Campus Bus
Our Route 713 school bus transports students from the West Campus to the East Campus in the morning and again from the East Campus to the West Campus in the afternoons. 

The 713 bus stop is at Sunset Boulevard and Saltair Ave., utilizing the MTA Stop.

AM: Southwest corner (MTA Stop)
PM: Northeast corner (MTA Stop)

Brentwood School also runs a nine-passenger shuttle from the Westwood area, with one stop at Woodruff and Holmby Avenues, near Warner Elementary School.

Students entering campus via car between 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. must be part of a carpool with a minimum of three (3) East Campus students (four if student-driven)—the requirement applies to both the morning and the afternoon. The Brentwood School Public Safety Department will verify carpools. Parent/guardian-driven carpools arriving after 7:25 a.m. with fewer than three students will be redirected to the nearest Brentwood bus stop.

Parent/guardian drivers have these options for morning drop-off:

• drive to school with at least three Brentwood School East Campus students in the car

• drop off incomplete carpools (with fewer than three students) on campus before 7:25 a.m. every day but Wednesday, when you may drop off incomplete carpools after 9 a.m. 

• drop off incomplete carpools (with fewer than three students) at a school bus stop 

Parent/guardian drivers will have these afternoon pick-up options:

• pick up at least three (3) Brentwood students

• pick up at a school bus stop

If a carpool is disrupted, the students may use any Brentwood express bus stop. These are the closest stops to the school on each route: Brentwood Country Mart (Santa Monica route), Holmby Hills Park (Westwood/Holmby Hills route), Sepulveda and Palms (Playa Vista/Mar Vista route), Palisades Library, (Pacific Palisades), Will Rogers Park (Beverly Hills route)

THE BREAKFAST CLUB

We offer FREE breakfast to all fully compliant carpools (with at least three students) entering the Village Gate or Sunset Gate before 7:25 a.m. Every student in the car will receive a breakfast voucher to be used in the Middle and Upper School cafeterias that morning.

WHERE NOT TO DROP OFF / PICK UP STUDENTS 

Our CUP and neighborhood agreement explicitly forbid dropping off or picking up students in Brentwood Village and surrounding areas. Do not drop off or pick up students: 

• anywhere in Brentwood Village (If a student wants to visit a local shop, they must be dropped off at school first and then walk to the Village in the morning, and/or pick up their snack and return to campus to be picked up in the afternoon.) 

• on Barrington Place

• along any of the nearby streets between San Vicente Blvd. and Sunset Blvd.

• at the nearby dog park

• at the post office

• at the Brentwood Village (VA) parking lot

• at the Barrington Rec Center

Again, drop off and pick up at the above locations are expressly forbidden. 

Parents/guardians who park in the emergency/traffic lane, cut through the Brentwood Village (VA) parking lot, drive recklessly, fail to follow the directions of the parking monitors, or are disrespectful are subject to consequences ranging from verbal or written warnings to, in extreme cases, removal from the community. 

EXTREME HARDSHIP EXCEPTIONS

Rarely, when families present extreme circumstances, we may grant an extreme hardship exception to our traffic restrictions. 

Student drivers, regardless of grade, who legally may drive a carpool and who secure three (3) additional East Campus student riders for both the morning and the afternoon may drive to and from school during peak hours (from 7:30 to 9 a.m. and from 3 and 7 p.m.) If a carpool arrives on campus before 7:25 a.m., it qualifies for the Breakfast Club.

IMPORTANT: Students may NEVER park on neighborhood streets, in Brentwood Village, at the Dog Park, the Post Office, in the Brentwood Village (VA) parking lot, or at the Barrington Rec Center.

We strongly encourage students who live a short distance from the East Campus to walk or bike to school. The Parent/Guardian Directory can help you find walking partners. Families whose children walk or bike to school still must complete the East Campus Transportation Plan.

WALKING SAFETY TIPS

• Walk on sidewalks and cross in crosswalks.

• Look left, then right, then left again, before you step into a street.

• Be careful of blind spots around cars, trucks, and buses when walking near or around them. Always assume the driver does not know you are there.

• Use caution when crossing intersections and streets. Vehicle drivers may not see you and may not be able to stop in time.

• Before entering the street, make eye contact with any drivers stopped at the corner.

• Make yourself visible.

BIKING SAFETY TIPS

• Helmets are required by law for any bicyclists under 18.

• Bicycle riders must obey all stop signs, traffic signals, and other traffic signs.

• Always ride with traffic.

• Always remember to give pedestrians the right of way.

• Be visible, alert, and communicate your intentions.

• Review the DMV’s tips regarding bicycle safety.

Brentwood School recognizes that compliance with our transportation requirements takes thoughtful planning. Only with full cooperation from all community members can we fulfill the requirements of the city and the neighborhood. Please note that repeated violations will lead to consequences that range from verbal and written warnings and detentions to meetings with the Honor Board and/or members of the school’s administration. In some cases, parking privileges have been rescinded. In the most egregious cases, future enrollment in the school may be jeopardized.
