Bus Information
If you are interested in your son riding the bus for the 2025-2026 school year, you must fill out the following registration form under “Bus Sign-up.” You may find Bus Route Maps here.
First Student, Inc.
We are excited to continue our partnership with First Student this year.
Routes
We are offering two routes for the 2025-2026 school year:
- Green route
- Gold route
Please take a moment to select the stop(s) that will work best for your family. It is okay to “mix stops” or even “mix routes” for example, having the student picked up at one location and dropped off at another. If you have any questions, feel free to include them in the Notes section of the registration form.
To help finalize routes and pricing, please complete your registration by Monday, August 11.
See the following page for Bus Route Maps.
Fees
The estimated bus fees for the 2025-2026 School Year are as follows:
- Round-trip rider (Morning & Afternoon) = $3,300
- 1-way rider (Morning or Afternoon) = $1,925
- Pay-per-ride (each ride) = $25
Upper School Parents: If your son enrolls in a sport other than PE, keep in mind that sports team practices & game schedules typically interfere with riding the afternoon bus. If this situation applies to you, please indicate your riding schedule in the ‘Notes’ section of the registration form.
Fall Season: August – November
Winter Season: November – February
Spring Season: February – May
Pay-per-ride Riders:
A student who needs to ride on occasion may do so as a ‘pay-per-ride’ rider. If you believe that you will take advantage of this option, please click the following to get more information on the process of riding the bus as a ‘pay-per-ride’ rider. Pay-Per-Ride Information
Payment
Once you have submitted the form, a confirmation email will be sent to you notifying you that you are signed up for the bus service. This will not be an automated response, as each family receives a personalized response upon registration. Please allow 24 hours before attempting to register again. Bus fees will be added to the FACTS account in September. Registration is due by Monday, August 11 to allow for finalizing routes and pricing.
