Bus route information will be distributed by DS Bus Lines. The scheduled pick-up time is an approximate time. Please have your student ready to board the bus at least five minutes prior to the scheduled pick-up time. It is standard procedure for the bus to wait only two minutes past the scheduled pick-up time and then continue the scheduled route. If the bus has unplanned delays of more than 10 minutes, our school bus provider will attempt to alert parents.

Stopfinder free app for DS Bus Lines is available. Parents can view bus routes and schedule updates in real time on Stopfinder. Subscriptions will be sent to the primary guardian of all bus riders by the first week of August.
