Additional Information

    FAQ’s:

    • Where do I find my route? Routes are in the SmartTag parent portal. Once registered to ride the bus it will take 3-4 days for the route to show up in parent portal.
    • Where is my bus stop? Locations will be in the parent portal on Aug. 8th.
    • When should we arrive at the bus stop (drop off, arrival)? At least five minutes prior to bus stop arrival time.
    • How will my child go to school on the first day? If you were provided a bus SmartTag last year, your child will use the same SmartTag this year. Complete the 25/26 Transportation Registration form.
    • I am a new bus rider, when will I get my SmartTag? Students will be provided a SmartTag by the campus or the bus driver.
    • I don’t have a student ID yet, how do I sign up for a SmartTag? Use 000000 if you don’t have a student ID number yet. Please make sure your address in registration matches SkyWard.
    • What if the weather is bad? Bad weather does not stop buses from continuing their routes. 
    • What if there is a delay? The district will send out notification through the SmartTag parent portal.
    • What if I lose my SmartTag? There is a $5.00 replacement fee for a new SmartTag.
