Bus Transporation

The district contracts with Student Transportation of America (STA) to provide transportation of eligible students to and from schools within their attendance area. Though not required by law, transportation to the school in your attendance area is provided according to the guidelines set forth in the Board of Education Policy EEA.

Elementary school students who live more than two miles from school and middle and high school students who live more than three miles from school are eligible to ride the bus to and from school.The district does not provide transportation to students attending programs or "schools of choice" outside their attendance area. However, parents may seek to contract privately with STA for transportation of students who are otherwise ineligible for district transportation. Such fee-based transportation may be offered at STA's discretion if seating space is available and if the requested transportation can be incorporated into an existing STA bus route. If interested in this option, parents may download this fillable PDF form, and submit it directly to STA at any time during the school year. Students may not ride a bus other than their STA-assigned bus.

IMPORTANT: For Bus Stop pick-up and drop-off locations and route times, please use your STUDENT ID as the username and password to log in to our bussing information system, Tyler Versatrans. If you do not know your Student ID, you can log in to your ParentVUE account and obtain it there.
