Buses

Per Board Policy 4317:  School transportation service is a privilege, not a right.  Students shall observe the directives of the bus driver and/or the safety monitor at all times while riding a school bus.

Our school district is excited to announce that you now have access to a new smartphone app to improve communication, school bus safety, and efficiency. The Edulog Parent Portal app provides you with information on the GPS location of your child’s school bus and sends you a push notification when the bus is nearing your bus stop. For more information on the Edulog Parent Portal app and how to register, please visit the following link: How to Get Started With Edulog Parent Portal
