To plan routes that are safe and efficient based on actual student ridership, we kindly request that parents or guardians register their eligible student(s) for transportation. This Transportation feature will be available through the Back to School Check-in process, allowing parents or guardians to select either "Yes" or "No" to indicate whether their student(s) will be using school bus transportation or not. Please complete this process on or after August 13th. The transportation link in the P-CCS Summer Communication will provide more detailed information.
