As we get ready for the new school year, we are asking every family to complete the Student Bus Registration Form by August 5, 2026, whether your child rides the bus or not.

Why are we asking every family to complete this?
This information allows us to build the safest and most efficient bus routes possible before school begins. If transportation is not needed, please let us know by selecting that option on the form. Having accurate information helps us improve ride times, reduce unnecessary stops, and use our drivers and buses as efficiently as possible.

If your transportation needs change during the school year, simply contact the Transportation Department, and we'll make those changes as quickly as possible.

How You Can Help

Only request transportation if it will be needed at the start of school.
Notify the Transportation Office if your transportation needs change.
Submit alternate transportation requests as early as possible.
Download the My Ride K-12 app to receive route information and notifications.
