Parents of students eligible to the ride bus to and from school will receive a letter with their child’s specific bus stop location and pickup and drop-off times on or by August 21, 2019.

On the first day of school, bus drivers will be provided a list of eligible riders for each bus route to verify students approved for ridership. Please have your child bring this letter with him/her on the first day of school, as this will serve as his/her bus pass.

We ask that all student-scholars eligible to ride the bus be at their bus stop five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled pick up time.

To find the bus route specific to your address, please click on the "Bus Search Tool" below.
