Bus Routes
Confirming Your Student's Transportation Needs
Parents/Guardians: Please make sure your child's school has your current address and phone number during the annual RSVP process. For mid-year updates, please get in touch with your school office.
Families were asked last spring to submit their students' transportation preferences to help us build accurate routes over the summer. If you missed the deadline or need to update your preference, the Transportation Form is available now in Skyward Family Access under Online Forms.
Please select:
- Yes - if your student will be a regular bus rider.
-
No - if your student will not regularly use district transportation, including students who only need occasional bus transportation.
Students who are eligible for transportation can still request occasional bus service by contacting the Transportation Department at least 24 hours in advance.
New Bus Routes
Check mid-August for updated 2026-27 bus routes.
New bus route information for your student will be available in Skyward Family Access. After logging into Family Access, select the Busing tab to see your student’s bus number, AM/PM routes, arrival times, and bus stop location. Please check this before day one. (See the screenshot example.)
Special First Day Schedule for 7th & 8th graders ONLY:
On the first day of school ONLY, 7th- and 8th-grade students will begin 3 hours late to allow for 6th-Grade Orientation at all our middle schools. Please add three hours to their AM pickup time listed in Skyward for the first day of school (Aug. 26). After the first day, regular bus schedules apply.

Resources
Parent Tools
Our district uses two systems to track or notify families when a student's bus is late.
Smart Tag Parent Portal
Students who ride a school bus will be issued a Smart Tag Bus Badge with a unique 14-digit number embedded in the card. As they board or disembark the school bus, they will wave the card past the Smart Tag card reader to log on and off the bus. This allows the Transportation Dept., our schools, and the student's parents or guardians to track when their student loads or leaves a school bus and the bus locations. This is an excellent tool for keeping track of our younger students and making sure everyone is on the right bus and using the correct stop. Learn more and sign up here: Smart Tag Parent Portal.
ParentSquare
When delays of 10 minutes or more occur, our transportation team will send brief messages to families via ParentSquare, the district's primary communication tool. Families are automatically enrolled in this service and no sign-up is required. Contact information is pulled directly from Skyward Family Access.
