Requests for transportation services and changes to transportation must be done electronically through Skyward Family Access Online Registration. The bus form has two parts:

  1. Part 1 is required for all students, and it is just a yes/no option for whether or not you are requesting transportation for your student.

  2. Part 2 is an optional form that asks more specific details and should only be filled out if you answered "YES" to Part 1.

If you have already completed online registration for the school year, please see instructions below on how to make changes to your bus form at any time:

  • The live GPS tracking feature can show you the exact location of your child's assigned bus.

  • This will only work after you have gone through the proper steps to have your child regularly assigned to an AM and/or PM bus.

  • The GPS function will NOT work for:

    • Field trips or activities that use a school bus for transportation

    • Students riding a different bus number than what has been assigned to them (i.e. when buses combine due to staff shortages or mechanical issues)

    • Students that are assigned more than one bus number (i.e. split custody situations when a student's pickup/dropoff locations vary from day to day)
