If your student requires busing for the 2025-2026 school year, please make sure you register for transportation as soon as possible. This does need to be done annually, even if you were registered last year. You will receive an email/call before school begins with your student(s) bus schedule. Transportation is available for students in grades K-12. Please contact us if you have any questions, and enjoy your summer!
