Transportation

Transportation Services is staffed by professionals serving and supporting you and your children. Drivers and office staff are dedicated to providing safe, secure and reliable transportation to qualified students (more than 1.25 miles for secondary students and more than .75 miles for elementary students). We serve more than 800 bus stop locations within our 6.5 square mile community each day. Bus stops and routes are designed with consideration of safety, efficiency, least cost and shortest over-all ride times. Our goal is the safe daily journey of your child, to and from school.

To register for transportation, fill out this form and drop it off at your child's school's main office.
