Transportation & Bus Routes

Q: When will my child's bus stop be available? Where can I find the route and schedule?
A: This year we are excited to offer a new tool for parents to track their child's bus in real time!

We are thrilled to bring BusRight to our families this upcoming school year! BusRight is an easy-to-use school bus tracking app. It lets parents see their child's bus location in real time. Parents can also get estimated arrival times and instant updates on delays. Students will pick up their bus pass at their school.

  • In August: Parents will get an invitation email. It will have instructions on how to set up your BusRight account.

  • About a Week Before School Starts: Your child's specific bus stops and schedules will be available in two places:

    1. BusRight app: Download the app from Google Play or the Apple iOS store.

    2. PowerSchool: Log in and click on the Transportation tab. There, you can see your child's bus number, stop location, and exact pickup/drop-off times.

School Meals & Nutrition

Q: How do I apply for free or reduced-price school meals and see the menus?

A: Parents are invited to apply for free or reduced-price meals online in early August. You can find meal applications, prices, and monthly menus on our Nutrition Department website.
