    After-School Transportation Disclaimer

    Route times posted for buses returning students from school are approximate due to traffic and the number of students riding. Because of these conditions beyond our control, the Transportation Department is not responsible for the accuracy of these times.

    Student drop-off times for after school late runs will vary from day to day depending on the number of students riding and the route distances required. **Late run buses may be as late as 7:30 p.m.**

    Parents and students can log in anytime and anywhere to access individual student transportation information, reducing the need to call the Transportation Department for bus information.  This will help save time for parents.
