Will Your Child be Taking the Bus This School Year?

Be Sure to Register Your Ride!

The School District requires that all students who will be using bus transportation register with the Transportation Department via the Register Your Ride portal.

Parents and guardians must complete a brief registration to ensure their child is assigned to a bus. Read the step-by-step guide for details.

In our continued effort to improve safety, help us ensure that your student uses their Student ID card to scan on and off the buses. In addition, Here Comes the Bus is now available for all schools.

Summer Interns Make Big Impact in the Classroom

The District welcomed dozens of interns to our schools this summer to assist teachers during Summer Reading Academy classes, as they learned what it takes to lead a classroom.

The summer intern program is a great way to expose high school students and recent graduates to what it's like to have a teaching career. It also helps the District grow our own teachers and train the next generation of educators. The students love it, too!
