Transportation Options
St. Francis High School serves students from the greater Sacramento area. Students and parents make their own car-pool or other transportation arrangements, including private bus service and light rail.
Carpooling
Incoming and current students may obtain a roster for carpooling. If you are interested in carpooling, please complete the Carpool Interest Form. A spreadsheet of interested families will be emailed to participating families each year in May and on an as-needed basis.
Bus Service
The Placer Bus Group serves the Highway 80 corridor to St. Francis and Jesuit High School. It provides stops at Lake of the Pines (Grass Valley), St Joseph (Auburn), Rocklin (Rocklin Ave) and Roseville (Riverside/Cirby). Students who live around the Carmichael area can get on at Jesuit High School and continue on to St Francis. For more information, visit the Placer Bus Group website Placer Bus Group

- Spots may not be resold or lent to others during the school year.
- Electric Vehicle charging space will not be assigned for painted parking, as those are for use by all students and staff.
- All laws related to the operation of motor vehicles in the state vehicle code are to be obeyed when driving on or near school grounds.
- Excessive speed (limit 5 MPH) or careless driving renders a student liable to suspension of her parking privileges and could result in detention.

- If a student with a registered parking permit does not have it with her, a “Day Pass” must be purchased in the morning from the Dean’s office. The “Day Pass” fee is $5.00.
