Bus Registration Deadline
Returning Students:
As of today, every student who was registered for the bus last year is on a route and their parents have been notified that bus information is ready in their SMARTtag Parent App. Parents only need to call us if they have moved to a new address. Otherwise, these students are ready to go now.
Requesting New Service:
All students needing NEW Service, or a change in address, will need to either register through Skyward, or call Transportation at 202-2190 and register over the phone. It will not create any issues if they do both. Thursday, July 30, Transportation will be giving parents a paper registration form as a fall back in the event something happens with Skyward.
