Bus Transportation

RIDING THE BUS

Students who live beyond 1 mile of school qualify for busing.

When will I know my bus information:

• Eligible families will receive a post card in the mail, late August.

• If the post card does not contain the correct information, call transportation right away.

  • You may need to submit paperwork to correct the problem prior to school starting.

  • No corrections will be made during the first week of school so you want to make sure to flag the problem right away.
