If you have a student who is a bus rider, please download the Here Comes the Bus App. Our district’’s code is 29081. To track your child’s bus you will need their Student ID number. If you do not know your child’s Student ID number, a written request should be submitted to your child’s teacher. The teacher will provide the number on a physical piece of paper in response, as this information will not be shared electronically for personal identification protection. Bus riders should be standing at the bus stop 10-15 minutes early, wait for the driver’s hand signal if crossing the road, follow all bus rules, and K-2 students must be accompanied by an adult or older sibling for dropoff/pickup. If unaccompanied, they may be brought back to school for parent pickup
