Lakeforest families,

Please complete the bus transportation survey for each student by Sunday, May 17th, regardless of whether your child will ride the bus next school year.

If your student will not need transportation, simply select that option in the survey and you will be able to complete it quickly.

Families who have already submitted the survey do not need to complete it again.

Thank you for helping us prepare for the upcoming school year!

The final day to request or change bus transportation for the start of the 2026-2027 school year is 5/22/2026 Parent/guardians who fail to request school bus transportation for the students by 5/22/2026 , will have to provide transportation for their student to and from school at the start of school...

We are truly grateful for your continued investment in our students and for helping us create spaces where every child feels seen and valued.
