For special needs transportation, campuses will have route information provided on Sept. 15. Drivers will contact parents on Sept. 16-17.

Additionally, the Transportation Department will make the Here Comes the Bus App available to parents. Information and download instructions are available on the Transportation Department website. The app is a resource that can assist families, but the Transportation Department requests that students be at their bus stop at the designated times and not rely on the app. Some circumstances will prevent the app from being accurate some of the time.

Parents of students who have opted for face-to-face instruction but are not returning to campus as of yet should consider turning off the apps’ notifications until their child returns to school.
