Accurate information on who will use transportation every school year will help us plan routes more efficiently, reduce delays and improve service for the families in our community who utilize our transportation services. Maybe you do not use district transportation? Please consider "opting out" in order to improve efficiency for everyone if this is a service that you do not wish to use. Please see the district transportation communication linked below for more information. Thanks for your consideration.
