With the return to on-campus learning, bus arrivals and dismissals may change. It's important that families check their child's bus route before their return to school.

Afternoon bus stop times for elementary students will be adjusted back to regular dismissal time. The new stop times will be available through Infofinder beginning August 21. Middle and high school parents need to check their students’ bus number and times prior to August 28 and 31 as the information may have changed.

As a reminder, changes were made throughout the district due to COVID-19 requirements, growth, bus number changes and new school zones. Bus routes have been changed to ensure that only two students are seated next to each other instead of three. Stops were moved between buses, and more first and second loads are being implemented. Should a bus have more riders than anticipated, the route will change as soon as possible to reduce the number of students on that bus. Students and adults are expected to wear face coverings while on the bus.

In addition, stop times may be different. Bus drivers will clean the bus between each trip and need to arrive at school with time to clean prior to leaving for the next load. In the afternoon, buses may leave the elementary schools later as drivers will clean the bus prior to loading the students.
