Bus Change Calendar

 

Changes to bus routes happen every three days, although not all routes experience change.  Refer to the calendar to help identify when a change may happen to your student’s route.

 

School Transportation Coordinators will notify families when a change affects your student’s route (pick up or drop off time, bus stop change, etc.)
