Bus Routes
There are multiple routes for each school, each bus route shows the pick up and drop off times and location. Scroll down through the bus routes until you find your neighborhood, and identify which pick up location is closest to your home, that is your pick up and drop off location. For assistance finding your bus stop, call 529-1500 x142 and leave a message with your student's name and your phone number.
Bus routes and stop locations are subject to change as students are added to the bus routes and as new drivers are oriented to their routes.
