VIEW YOUR BUS SCHEDULE

Boise School District's Transportation Department has launched a new transportation feature within the Infinite Campus (IC) Parent Portal (the District's student management system). This new feature allows parents/guardians to view their student's school bus schedule by selecting the busing tab in the Parent Portal. If you do not have a Parent Portal Account, a link to create an account has been sent to your email account. Please look for the email from "[email protected]"

If you do not see a bus schedule in the IC Parent Portal, please confirm with your school that you requested busing for your student. If you have any questions about the bus schedule listed, please contact First Student (District school bus provider) at 208-854-5230.

Bus Transportation Reminders:

Students should be at their school bus stop at least 5 minutes prior to the scheduled pick-up time. Afternoon drop-off times are estimated. Bus schedules change as new students are added to routes, so check back often, especially at the beginning of the school year.
