Updated bus route information for the 2023-2024 school year can be found on SMART Tag and the Transportation website starting on Aug. 11. Routes are subject to change until Aug. 14.

The adjustments follow the Board of Trustees approval of a calendar amendment to add five instructional minutes to each school day. The additional instructional minutes results in two more days of banked minutes, bringing the total to four instructional days’ worth of minutes built in the District’s academic calendar. The banked four days will eliminate the need to make up instructional days or add additional calendar days due to school cancellations caused by inclement weather events.
