Rush Creek News

September 4, 2026

Wondering where and how to drop off or pick up your student(s)? Please take a moment to review Rush Creek’s Drop-Off & Pick-Up Procedures before the first day of school. The procedures cover arrival and dismissal for buses, walkers, parent drop-off and pick-up, and Kidstop.

REMINDER: For the safety and security of all students, parents and guardians will not be allowed to accompany students into the school building. Please know that our staff will be ready to welcome, guide, and support your student each morning, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as they begin their school day.

Reviewing these procedures in advance will help ensure a smooth and safe start to the school year!

Bus information—including bus number, bus stop location, and pick-up and drop-off times—is available in ParentVUE and was emailed to families on August 28th.

As a reminder, transportation is available only to students who live within the Rush Creek attendance boundaries. To determine whether your home address, daycare address, or other transportation location is within our boundaries, please click here.

Returning Bus Riders
Students who rode the bus during the 2025–26 school year and will continue to use the same transportation location for the 2026–27 school year do not need to take any action. Your student will be routed from the same bus stop.

If your student’s transportation needs are changing, please email BusQuestions@District279.org to request a change form. Change forms are student-specific, so please include the name of each student requiring a transportation change in your email.

FirstView Bus Tracking App
The FirstView bus tracking app allows families to track their student’s bus using GPS and view the bus’s estimated arrival time. Families are encouraged to use the app to monitor bus location and arrival information.

All back-to-school forms will be filled out online this year. Forms that are a part of this process include emergency cards, family contact information updates and photo/military denial releases. Complete the necessary steps today by going to the ParentVUE system, which is accessible from the Family Access button on the top right of any district or school website. On-screen prompts will then walk you through the back-to-school forms process.

All back to school forms MUST be completed to access information in ParentVUE.
