The first day of school is approaching and we are finalizing transportation information. If you have not registered and filled out your transportation form, please contact your school. As a first step in the notification of bussing information, we want you to know that there have been minimal changes to the bus routes. If your child has ridden the bus in the past, you should plan to be on the same route, with the same stops, at basically the same time. Please be at your bus stop early on the first day of school. For your reference, the shuttle schedule has been posted to the website and is attached to this message. https://www.dps170.org/documents/parents-%26-students/transportation/492114 Your bus assignment should be posted to the Lumen Portal by Monday, August 14th.
