District UsePLEASE NOTE
- Bus stops are subject to change.
- Stops may not be in the same location from one school year to the next.
- These stops are based on the walk distances established by school board policy. If your residence is within the walk area for a school, but a stop exists within the established distance from your house, those stops will be displayed when you enter your address. However, this does not mean that your student may ride the school bus.
- Stops may also be in place near your residence for schools that offer programs not available to your student. Before utilizing a stop not assigned to your local school, verify your child's eligibility to attend the school.
- If in doubt contact your school or the Transportation Department.
If you are using a school district computer and wish to check your student's bus stop information click the link that says "District Use."
McKinney-Vento Transportation Provision for Student in Homeless Situations
Changing schools greatly interferes with a student's academic and social development. To accomodate highly moblie students (those without permanent nightly residence) legislation was passed that requires local educational agencies to provide these students with transportation to and from their school of origin at the parent or guardian's request. For more information about students in transition, please visit our Homeless Education Project page.
