Welcome to the Transportation Department!

2020-2021 BUS REGISTRATION is now on Final Forms!

Have the following information decided prior to completing your Final Forms for the school year:

1.  Your child needs bused to or from an address other than your actual home address.                                    Sitters often change,  therefore, all sitter information is deleted from prior year.

2.  Your child did not ride every day last year, to and from the home address.

3.  Your child will be attending a before or after school program.

4.  You have moved or will be moving prior to the start of school.

5.  Your child will not attend the same school this year.

6.  Your child will be a 7th grader (7th graders ride the high school buses, not elementary)

7.  Your child attends the Career Center, Liberty Prep or LEAP.

 
If your child was bused last year, but will not need busing this year, please let us know so we can update the student count for that particular bus route.

Sometime in mid-August, you may use the Transfinder Online Bus Information Link (BELOW) to access your child's bus #, pick-up and/or drop off location and estimated bus times for the 2020-21 school year. Busing information will also be posted at your child's school building.
