Throughout the school year, please notify the MNSD Transportation Department of any MNSD students that have withdrawn or enrolled in your school by emailing the information to MNSD transportation. Typically, it will require 48 to 72 hours to process. Please note that this information is imperative to provide safe and accurate transportation for the student and we must have a record of doing so.
