Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here

Families must apply annually using the district’s online bus application form, and accepted riders receive route information through the My Ride K-12 website/app. The district requires bus pass cards to be swiped on/off, outlines expected student behavior on the bus, and shares safety procedures for loading/unloading and communications for route impacts and inclement weather routing.
