Transportation

Our school district currently contracts with Safe-Way Bus Company for student transportation. Elementary students who live one mile or more from their assigned school, and secondary students who live 1.5 miles or more from their assigned school, are eligible for district-provided transportation.

Students who attend daycare or stay at an address during the school day that qualifies for bussing are eligible to ride the bus from that location. See the Daycare/Alternative Address section below. Furthermore, Safe-Way Bus Company does offer a pay-to-ride transportation option. More information can be found on the Pay-To-Ride section.

What Families Need to know 

  • Bus passes will be sent to the eligible students’ homes during the month of August
  • It will be a postcard with the bus number, location and time of pick-up on it
  • Once the postcard arrives, be sure to place it in your child's backpack, it will be required to board the school bus
