Reminder for Families! Your student’s assigned 🚍 bus route information is available on our website, using our Bus Stop Lookup Tool, and in ParentVUE, by selecting “additional information” under “Student Info.” In order to create more efficient routes for our drivers and families, the Department of Transportation makes a significant number of route and bus stop changes during the first 3-4 weeks of school. As a result, the School BusHub App may not work for your student until these changes are finalized. We encourage you to check back frequently.
