Bus routes posted and FirstView mobile app

Bus routes are now available online. For questions about school district bus service, call your school or First Student at 360-841-7099, ext. 103 or 104. Please be aware that the first several weeks of school can often see changes to routes as First Student makes adjustments. Any changes impacting riders will be communicated by your child’s school.


Due to road construction in many areas of the district, some buses may need to take a detour and/or may be delayed. For the most up-to-date route information, late alerts, notifications when your student is close to home, etc., we strongly recommend installing the FirstView mobile app, available through the Apple App Store and Google Play. PLEASE NOTE: The district code has changed this year. To use the app, enter the four-digit code LMWV. Get instructions for installing the app.


Share your back-to-school moments with us!

We are excited to welcome students back starting next week! Just take a photo of your child on their first day and post it to social media using #BGPSBack2School. Staff photos are welcome too! We'll share your photos in a fun video that will be posted on the district's Facebook and Instagram accounts (have you followed us there yet?). We're looking forward to seeing you!
