District transportation is provided for students who reside in
the northwest corner of our school
boundaries.
Bus Stops and School Loading Zones: Students
need to be at their assigned bus stop 5 minutes prior to the
scheduled arrival of the bus. Students who are late need to find
other means of transportation to school. Students may only board
and disembark at the approved stop.
Identification Cards: Students must present
and scan a valid school identification card with the
proper bus assignment indicated prior to boarding and exiting
the school bus. Identification cards are equipped with RFID
tracking chips to identify who is on the bus. Failure
to present a valid ID card will lead to denial of service.

In addition, busing is provided for students with special needs
that make it difficult for them to get to school,
to transport athletes to and from athletic events,
and for enrichment field trips.
Some students utilize the city's SMAT transportation system
between home and school. Reduced rates for students are available.
Fares: Regular $1.50 Student with student ID $1.25 Fares subject to
change without notice. Must have exact fare as drivers do not carry
change.
