Dear Parents/Guardians of Transportation Students,
Hello from the Boise School District Transportation Department. We look forward to welcoming students back to classrooms and the school bus in January. We would like to highlight a few important changes in preparation for our return to school bus services on January 19th:
Bus Schedule Changes - Many school bus schedules have been changed to accommodate a bus driver shortage and reduced ridership. New bus schedules are available within the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. It is very important for you to check for new bus schedules prior to our return on 1/19/21.
Afternoon Route Times - The afternoon route drop-off times listed on the bus schedules are approximate. The bus will drop off students in attendance on the bus for that day’s schedule. Most buses will drop off earlier than the approximate time listed because we only have T/Th or W/F students on the bus.
Bus Route Numbers - All bus route numbers have changed to match the last three digits of the number decals on the bus. Additionally, the route placard next to the bus entrance door will always display what route a bus is running, which is especially important if the route is being served by a substitute bus.
If you are new to the Boise School District or have never created an Infinite Campus Parent Portal, you will receive an activation link from “[email protected]”. Please contact your student’s school if you have forgotten your password.
We want to reassure you that we continue to be committed to following our Transportation Pandemic Operation Plan to keep our students safe. This includes the wearing of masks in compliance with current mask orders in place, hand sanitizing, and bus cleaning. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with our pandemic operation plan so you and your student know what to expect.
We want to thank you for doing your part in helping us provide safe travel for your children.
Sincerely,
Boise School Transportation Department, 208-854-4167, [email protected] (Closed December 23 to January 5)
Durham School Services, 208-854-5230 (Closed December 24 to January 3)
