Starting July 26, 2023, families can submit a request for an unassigned bus seat for the 2023-24 school year.

How can I apply?

You must submit a separate request per child and include your child's student ID number on the form when possible (10-digit number starting with the number 3, located on your child's report card).

When will I find out if my child has an unassigned seat?

As soon as student registration settles in September, we can determine unassigned seats and make them available. 

If seats are available, you will be emailed approval for a seat starting September 30 or earlier.

Please remember that this bus seat is provided with the understanding that the seat may be needed in the future for new families to the community who are eligible for student transportation.
