2026-27 School year Information

View your child’s bus stop information, pick-up and drop-off times in the Parent Portal. Simply log in and click the Transportation tab on the left. Bus stop information for 2026-27 will be available in late August 2026. 

Enrollment Deadline for Guaranteed Transportation

To ensure a smooth start to the school year and help us provide bus information earlier, all families must complete enrollment by Tuesday, August 18 at 10 a.m. to guarantee their student will have a bus assigned for the first day of school. If enrollment is completed after August 18 but before the first day of school, we will do our best to assign a bus stop and provide transportation as quickly as possible (within 4-5 days), but we cannot guarantee service will be available on the first day. 

Completed enrollment includes:

  • Proof of residency (two required forms)
  • Immunization records
  • Contact information for at least one guardian and at least one emergency contact
  • Proof of parental or legal guardianship, if requested

If you need assistance completing enrollment, please contact your child's school or the district. This change will help us plan routes more efficiently, reduce last-minute changes, and provide a seamless transportation experience on the first day of school. 

Download the Bus Tracking App
