Bus Information
If you are interested in your son riding the bus for the 2024-2025 school year, you must fill out the following registration form under “Bus Sign-up.”
First Student, Inc.
We are excited to continue our partnership with First Student this year.
Routes
We are offering two routes for the 2024-2025 school year:
Gold route: Changed from last year: We have heard the requests, and are excited to offer a northern stop at St. Rita’s Catholic School. In order to do so, we will be eliminating the Royal and Marsh stop.
Green route: No changes from last year
Please choose the stop(s) that will work best for you. This means that you may ‘mix’ stops and even ‘mix’ routes. Any questions can be asked in the ‘Notes’ section of the registration form.
Fees
The estimated bus fees for the 2024-25 School Year are as follows:
- Round-trip rider (Morning & Afternoon) = $3,200
- 1-way rider (Morning or Afternoon) = $1850
- 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 that 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 on the following document 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. Bus fees will be added to your FACTS account in September.
