The link for the Fall Transportation Form for the 23/24 School Year is now available for completion. You can access the link on the Vandals App, our website, or your email. Please fill out the form by July 15th with as much detail as possible, in order to help us get your child set up for Transportation. With the shortage of drivers, we may have to rework routes. Also, due to the number of students on late buses, we will need all eligible Pre-k through 4th grade students to ride the early buses regardless of older siblings. Sorry for this inconvenience. Please help us start the school year out with the least amount of confusion as possible. Also, a reminder if you live within 1.5 miles without an approved hazardous area you are not eligible for transportation. If you have any questions, please call the transportation line after August 1st at 618-283-8135. This gives us time to work through and set up all of our district students’ transportation.
