When will I get my bus pass or transportation letter?
The bus passes will be prepared and mailed during the first week of August.
To get the best pick-up/drop-off location, please check that your FINALFORMS information is accurate and up-to-date before August 1st.
After August 1st, families must get the Transportation Request/Change Form and submit it to First Student. For more details, click here.
Starting on August 9th, parents/guardians can download the Firstview App and enter your child's school ID into the app, to see your child's scheduled bus times. In the event that you have not received a bus pass, you can still use the app to locate your child's bus times and locations.
All parents/guardians should have their children at their bus stop approximately 5 minutes earlier than their scheduled time.
If a parent has not received a bus pass or cannot see their students' information in the Firstview App by August 10th, then parents should contact the school secretary or transportation team for assistance.
*All Transportation Requests/Changes still need to be submitted via the form on the website. This may take up to five business days to update.
