As the first day of school approaches, families whose students ride the bus are encouraged to verify their transportation information before school begins.
Bus route information, including bus stop locations and pick-up and drop-off times, is available online at:

Because student enrollment and ridership numbers continue to change during the opening weeks of school, transportation staff may need to make adjustments to routes and schedules. Parents and guardians should check the bus route webpage regularly, especially during the first few weeks of school, to ensure they have the most current information.
Families should also be prepared for possible delays during the first couple of weeks of school. As students learn their assigned bus stops and drivers become familiar with routes, pick-up and drop-off times may fluctuate. Allowing extra time and exercising patience during this adjustment period will help ensure a smooth and safe start to the school year.
Helpful Reminders:
Check your student's route before the first day of school.
Review route information regularly for updates and changes.
Arrive at the bus stop a few minutes early.
Expect possible delays during the first weeks of school as routes settle into a routine.
