Have You Requested Transportation Services for Next School Year?
If your child will need busing for next school year, please be sure to complete the 2023-2024 Transportation Request Form online via your PowerSchool Public Portal account no later than June 14th. Even if your child rode the bus this year, you must complete a new request form and be assigned a bus route in order to receive services next school year. We are asking that you complete your child’s request form as soon as possible to allow staff adequate time to develop next year’s routes. A delay in requesting transportation could result in your child not being able to ride a school bus for the first two weeks of school or until a bus route has officially been assigned. If you have not yet signed up for a parent portal account, please view these instructions to get you started.
