Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here

District Transportation Services provides school bus service and requires families to submit an online transportation application; registered riders receive a bus pass that must be scanned when boarding/exiting. Students are expected to follow bus safety rules, including arriving at the bus stop about 10 minutes early, staying seated, keeping aisles clear, and following safe loading/unloading procedures (including only crossing in front of the bus when red alternating lights are flashing and the driver signals it is safe). Guest riders are not permitted, and most food/drink is not allowed on the bus (except a personal water bottle).

Enrollment

The school website includes a Registration section, and the Late French Immersion page provides a registration link for that program. For school bus service, families must submit the district’s online transportation application.
