Make sure your child has what they need for the year ahead:

Need Help With School Supplies? Every year, our community donates thousands of dollars in supplies to our students and our schools. If you're in need of items, please reach out to the main office.
Preliminary bus route information for the 2026-27 school year is now available in the MyRide K12 app.
Bus stop locations and times may change before the start of school as we finalize routing. Be sure to check the app again before the first day of school.
Please note that your bus route, stop location, and pick-up/drop-off time may be different from previous years due to the districtwide transportation updates communicated this spring. For more information about the new transportation model and eligibility, please visit the stillwaterschools.org/bus.
The MyRide K12 app will always display the most up-to-date information and will be our primary method of transportation communication throughout the school year. Once school begins, you'll also be able to track your student's bus in real time.
Need Assistance?
Please submit a transportation help ticket or email schoolbus@stillwaterschoolsorg. During the first few weeks after routes are released, we receive a high volume of requests. To help ensure students are ready for the first day of school, we prioritize missing routes and transportation eligibility issues, followed by bus stop review requests and other routing adjustments. Please allow 5 business days for a response.
Immunization Reminder for Middle School Families
Parents of middle school students only need to submit updated immunization records when their child receives the required Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines. Minnesota law requires students to receive these vaccines before the start of 7th grade, or have a completed exemption form on file. Please submit updated vaccination records or exemption documentation to the school health office.

What You Need to Know:
Registration Fees:
You may have noticed that the participation fee has increased to $199 per season. While we understand this is an increase from previous years, we believe it continues to provide tremendous value. Student-athletes receive a 7-week season, practices four days per week, transportation, quality coaching, and a full schedule of games and competitions.
Transportation:
There are no major changes to transportation. We will continue to provide bussing for all sports. There may be a few minor adjustments, such as shuttle buses or sharing buses with other teams, but families should expect transportation to operate much as it has in previous years.
Competition & Schedules:
There are no changes to our competition schedule. We will continue to compete in the Metro/Suburban East Middle School Conference while also seeking additional quality competition that provides meaningful opportunities for athletes of all ability levels.
Coaching:
There are no changes to our coaching philosophy or expectations. Our programs will continue to be led by dedicated, knowledgeable coaches who are passionate about teaching their sport and committed to providing a positive, challenging, and enjoyable experience for every student-athlete, regardless of skill level.
While there have been a few changes behind the scenes, our mission remains exactly the same—to provide a fun, competitive, and rewarding athletic experience for every student-athlete. We appreciate your continued support and partnership as we begin this new chapter, and we look forward to another outstanding year of Oak-Land Middle School Athletics.
