SCHOOL BUS

BUS FEES AND REGISTRATION
Our school provides school bus service when and where possible. The bus system is operated by a separate organization which aims to accommodate all requests from families for bus service. However, we cannot guarantee that a school bus will be available in your area on a route that meets your needs. Your child may need to be driven to a stop closest to your home on an existing route.
The student will require school bus transportation *
I understand and acknowledge that the school must receive notice of school bus cancellation by Sept. 30. After Sept. 30 I will be charged for the full year regardless of whether we are using the service. (If your child is not registered to take the bus please click Yes anyway to indicate you understand the policy should you decide to use bus service later.)* *
