Good evening, The start of the school year is in a couple of weeks and we are starting to finalize student busing information. The parent’s bus information is being added to your student’s portal daily. If you registered early, the information should already be posted to the portal, please login to view the information. If you just registered this past week, please check regularly as the information will be updated daily. Please note, if the route number shows 00, that means your child is not assigned or riding a bus. If the route number shows 001, they are ineligible to ride a bus. For the most part, route times and stops have remained the same as last year. Please be at the stop at least 5 minutes prior to the scheduled arrival. Kindergarten families will receive a call from the bus company before school starts. The shuttles will leave the schools at 7:15am for those students walking to catch a shuttle. The shuttle schedule has been posted to the website at this link. https://5il.co/1f7n3 Please be patient as the start of the year always involves some adjustments and changes. Buses will be performing a dry run of the routes on August 11th. Thank you and have a great night.
