For those families interested in or in need of transportation (bussing) 🚌 for the 2022-23 school year, the transportation form MUST be submitted in PowerSchool no later than Friday, August 12 to secure bussing for the first day of school.
After August 12, families will have to wait until September 12 to receive a bus route and transportation information for their child(ren).
We thank you for your assistance and cooperation in this matter to ensure that all bussing runs smoothly and effectively for the start of the school year.
At this time, families who have already completed the transportation form in PowerSchool are receiving route information in PowerSchool on average, in 3-5 days.
Please make every effort to take care of this in a timely manner, should it apply to you and your family.
