The link for the Fall Transportation Form will be accessible starting today for the 2025-2026 School Year. You can access this link (below) on the Vandals App, our website, or your email to complete the form. Every student must complete this by July 15 with as much detail as possible, in order to ensure your child is set up for transportation. Please do not rely on what is in the program now, we are updating the transportation program this summer, and all information may not carry over into the new program. So, once again, everyone must fill out a Fall Transportation Form by July 15.
Due to continuing driver storage, we may have to rework routes. Also, due to overcrowding on the late buses and this staff shortage, we will need all eligible pre-k through 4th-grade students to ride the early buses regardless of older siblings. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please help us to start the new school year out with the least amount of confusion as possible.
In order to give us time to work through and schedule all of our district students’ transportation, please wait to call with any questions until after August 1st. The transportation department phone number is 618-283-8135
