Student Transportation
Bus transportation to and from school is provided for all K-6 students residing one-half mile or more from school, and grades 7-12 students residing two mile(s) from school.
Kindergarten and new student transportation information is available at each school at the beginning of the school year. Busing information is mailed to homes before school starts. Be sure to provide your child's school with current day care information as soon as you know it. After school starts there will be a delay in making changes to bus stops as we work to get routes running on time.
Our goal is to ensure students arrive at school safely, promptly, and ready to learn. Parents can assist us by sharing expectations with children about courteous and respectful behavior and by having them at the bus stop 5 minutes before scheduled bus arrival time. Be sure to provide your child's school with current day care information as soon as you know it.
