Please remember that during the first week or two of school, buses may not always run exactly on schedule as drivers and students adjust to their new routes.

We ask that students arrive at their bus stop at least 10 minutes early and that families please be patient while schedules settle into a routine.

Don't forget to download the new bus app, My Ride K-12.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
