The deadline to register for bus transportation for the upcoming school year is Monday, June 30. Requests received after this date will be placed on a waiting list and scheduled after Labor Day. Log in to your PowerSchool parent portal account – select forms – and complete all forms beginning with Demographics. You will automatically advance to the next form as you hit submit. Even if your child does not need Bus Transportation it is very important to update information by Monday, June 30 so your school will have the correct contact information, medical information and other required documents. If you have already updated your child’s information in PowerSchool – there is no other action needed at this time. Reach out to our PowerSchool Department if you have trouble logging in your parent portal account. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Bus Scheduling is already underway for the 2025-26 school year.
