“Our Mission: To transport students safely and in a timely manner to their destination, helping to make sure they are physically and emotionally ready to learn.”

It is important to remember that the school’s rules apply to and from school, at school, on school property, at school-sponsored events, and on school transportation. In some cases, a student can be suspended from school for infractions of school bus rules. If a student is suspended from the regular bus, they will not be able to ride an activity bus.

• 2026-27 Transportation Registration Form

New transportation requests must be submitted by Friday, August 21st, to ensure transportation is in place for the first day of school. Requests submitted after this date are not guaranteed to be processed in time for students to ride the bus on the first day of school.

If your child rode the bus last school year and your family has not moved or changed addresses, there is no need to contact the Transportation Department or your child's school. Even if your child is moving up to the next school, their bus routing will automatically advance.

Attached below are the tentative 2026–27 AM and PM bus routes. As routes are established at the beginning of the school year, please allow for a 15-minute window around the listed pick-up and drop-off times. Families should look up their child’s route using their home address, as some bus numbers have changed for the 2026–27 school year.
