Transportation
Only students who enrolled through certain programs are eligible for transportation. Bus stop and time information for the 2010-11 school year will be mailed by the Transportation Department about a week before school starts. If you have any questions, please call the Transportation Department at 858-496-8460. You may also contact Challenger's Transportation Liaison, Mrs. Maria Yap, at 858-586-7001, ext. 2216 when the school office opens on August 24, 2010.
