- All parents/guardians of students riding District buses can find current route information via the Ride 360 app. You will need your student's ID number, and will need to enter student birthday in a MMDDYYYY format. For more information on this app, please visit the Transportation Department website here.
- Alternate Destination Request forms will be accepted during the 2022-23 school year. An alternate destination is defined as any stop that is not the stop assigned to a student eligible to use District transportation based on their place of residence. The Alternate Destination Request must be completed by a parent/guardian, submitted to the student's school, and approved by the Transportation Department in advance. Please note: The approval process can take up to 2 weeks to complete, and student will not be picked up/dropped off at the alternate destination until the parent/guardian has received notification of approval from the Transportation Department. To access this form, please click here or contact your student's school.
- Courtesy riders will be allowed this year as bus capacity allows. Students should request a form from their school to be given to the bus driver; notes from a parent/guardian given directly to a bus driver will not be accepted.
For more information or assistance with bus transportation for your student, please contact the Transportation Department at 503-825-5900.
Some helpful reminders from our Technology Department regarding your child's device:
All student device checkouts will be managed by your child's school during the first few days and weeks back to school.
Troubleshooting or repair of students devices is managed by each individual school location. For assistance with student device repair, please follow these instructions.
Elementary Devices:
- Elementary devices will be housed in the child's classroom and charged overnight by the teacher.
- Any device issues should be reported to the child's teacher, who will partner with district technology staff to resolve the issue.
Middle and High School Devices:
- Secondary students will be issued Chromebooks and power cords at school, and will travel to and from school with their device and cord.
- Students are responsible for ensuring their Chromebooks come to school charged each day.
- Any device issues or damage should be reported to the media center immediately.
- Secondary students have the option to take part in the Device Protection Plan. Device Protection plan info and the fee waiver information has been sent out by schools, and can also be found on our website in both English and Spanish: 2022-2023 Device Protection Plan.
