School Bus Ridership / Alternate Stop Request Form
Please use a desktop or laptop to complete the form as the form is not mobile friendly. When typing in your last name, the form only allows 14 characters. For example if your child's name is Michael Hernandez Jordan; please stop at Hernandez Jord. If you are having trouble with the form, please call 980-343-6715 and we can assist with any last name issues.
Please note that transportation to alternate stops (e.g. daycare centers, etc.) does not carry over from one year to the next. These stops must be requested each year and the alternate stop location needs to be within the attendance boundary. Click here for all 2021-22 CMS Transportation Forms.
