SCHOOL OF CHOICE (SOC) STUDENTS:
Transportation is not included in the Schools of Choice plan and SOC students are not allowed to ride the buses during the first 2 weeks of school. However, at the end of the second week of school, after we ensure that we have adequate seating available for eligible resident students, you may contact the Transportation Department office at 231-332-8269 to see if there is room on a bus at an existing bus
Transportation requests must be submitted by August 2 to give our team time to create bus stops and schedules. Bus routes/stops will be emailed to families the week before school starts and posted on the website.
