New Transportation Information Access
This year, we are excited to introduce a new way to access bus and transportation information through Final Forms. This system will streamline the process and ensure you have the most up-to-date information. To access your bus routes, log in to Final Forms, select “Forms” or “Update Forms” and navigate to the “Transportation Section.” Here you will find:
Additionally, bus information will still be available during the Open Houses for your convenience.
High School Schedule Change
Please note that the high school will be moving to a new daily schedule this year that includes an early release on Wednesdays. However, since the first day of school falls on a Wednesday, this new schedule will not take effect until the second week of the school year. More information about the new schedule will be provided during the first week. Next week for high school students will look like this:
Wednesday, August 14, 2024 - 7:20 AM - 2:25 PM
Thursday, August 15, 2024 - 7:20 AM - 2:25 PM

Important Road Closure Notice*
We have just been informed of a road closure that will impact transportation for some of our students. Starting Monday, August 12, 2024, bridge construction at Rathmell Road and Obetz-Reese Road will affect Dexter Court and Grebus Drive for 110 days (weather permitting). Unfortunately, there is no turnaround space for our buses in these areas, so students residing in these locations will need to arrange their own transportation during this period. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we navigate this challenge.
