On Tuesday afternoon (March 8) some of our older buses will be replaced with new buses. While your child's bus may have a new bus license number, ROUTE numbers will not change. The route number is the white number placed on the front and rear bumper of each bus. (The black number on the side, next to the door, is the license number, which will read 17-3-###. Do not reference this license number when looking for your route number.)
Please remind your student to look for the white route number on the front and rear bumper. Route numbers will remain the same. Our staff members will help your student locate his or her new bus for the ride home on Tuesday.
