Students registering for bus transportation for next school year must ride the bus on a consistent basis, at least 2-3 times per a week in order to keep their bus seat. 

Students who do not ride for 10 or more consecutive days will be removed from the bus and will need to submit a new transportation request form if transportation is needed. 

Student-athletes and students absent due to an extended illness or family trip will retain their bus seat as long as the transportation department has been notified of their extended absence.

Bus Information

Parents will be able to use the Here Comes the Bus to track their child's school bus. This app will give you the benefit of knowing how far the bus is away from your house.
 
Students shall never attempt to ride on a school bus unless assigned to that bus by the bus coordinator. If a student has a reason to ride another bus, they must bring a signed, dated note from a parent/guardian stating the reason. Prior to riding the bus, the principal, assistant principal or transportation coordinator must sign the note. It is unlawful for a person to ride a school bus without proper assignment to that bus [G.S. 1 15C-242(J)].
 
Bus information can be found in our handbook.
