Overview

Due to a shortage of bus drivers, we are currently unable to guarantee home to school transportation for the two routes (Val Verde and Templin) for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year.

It is our hope that we can have a solution in place by the start of the school year. Just in case we are able to find a solution, we will be sending out the bus application for the 2024-2025 school year and create a list based on a first come first serve basis. Being on this list will not guarantee that we are able to provide transportation services to anyone who signs up, but we would like to have this list started in the event we are able to provide transportation. As a precaution, please explore possible alternative solutions to getting your child to school for the 2024-2025 school year.

Students are placed on bus routes in the order in which their applications are received until the routes are full. Turning in your application does not guarantee your child a seat on their selected bus route. Students who are not placed on routes will be placed on a waitlist and added to routes as space becomes available.

If you have questions regarding the application or payment, please contact the Business Office at 661-257-4500.
