Helpful Resource: Once you know your child's route, you should consider signing up for bus route notifications using Bus Bulletin. Bus Bulletin will send you text messages to your cell phone with real-time updates on your child's route. For instance, if your child's route is running late, Bus Bulletin will let you know.

  • Log onto the website http://busbulletin.com/parents/ and look to the right side of your screen. Click on “Sign In”, click on "Register Here," and answer the simple prompts.
