APPLYING FOR YELLOW BUS SERVICE

Whether your child is new to yellow bus service or a current rider, you need to apply for yellow bus service each school year. 

The deadline to apply for yellow bus service is June 1, 2023 to make sure your child receives service on the first day of school. You can always apply for bus service throughout the year as bus routes change.
