2026-2027 TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION

 

Please be advised that seating on school buses for the 2026–2027 school year is limited. Transportation will be assigned based on established priorities and in the order in which applications are received. We strongly encourage families to submit their bus applications as early as possible to increase the likelihood of securing a seat.
Bus Stop Assignment Policy
  Students will be assigned only to the bus stop designated for their residence, following the transportation boundaries established by the district. All assigned bus stops must comply with the safety standards outlined in Title 13 CCR  § 1238. School Bus Stops.  We are unable to assign students to stops that do not meet these safety requirements.
Families will not have the option to select an alternate bus stop. If the assigned route is at capacity, the student will be placed on a waitlist and notified once space becomes available.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to maintain a safe and efficient transportation system for all students. If you have any questions or need assistance with your application, please contact the Transportation Department at 916-294-9100
