Bus Applications for 25/26SY
Good afternoon,
As we prepare to enter the testing season and the close of the 24/25 school year, it’s already time to think about planning for the next school year. We are writing to share information about bus transportation for the 25/26 school year.
We have experienced success with our school bus transportation services and I am excited to share that we will be offering bus services for the 25/26 school year. We are finalizing the process to ensure equity. We anticipate having more families interested in bus transportation than we have seats available. While current bus riders will have priority for the 25/26 school year, we will have a few additional spaces for more riders.
It is important that we are clear and transparent about the process for requesting and securing a seat on the bus for the 25/26 school year. Over the next few weeks we will be confirming with current riders if they plan on using the bus again. We will then group applicants by distance from our former campus and run a blind lottery from these groups for the remaining spaces.
