Pippa described how a majority of those who she had contacted for an open bus spot were only willing to accept one bus time and waiting to go through the list to find someone who would take the open slot often resulted in long wait times for the empty seat to be filled. Between time/energy lost by the bus committee trying to fill the slots and empty bus seats not being filled, it is recommend to keep a single list for all bus routes. The committee agreed.

2019 - 2020 Bus Registration Info



Registration for the bus program next year will be from April 10th - April 30th. Everyone can sign-up for 1 bus route, and then a public lottery will be held for the bus slots on May 7th. Emails will follow to each registrant on their status (will let registrants know who made it onto the bus or where they fall on the waiting list) shortly thereafter.

There will be four separate waiting lists for the four separate routes. Registrants will only be able to sign up for one route. To assist with selection of the preferred route, we are providing the tentative open number of slots available for each bus route. The numbers are not yet firm because we have not yet received confirmation from all current 6th and 7th grade bus riders on whether or not they will be returning.

Current estimated open bus slots:

Dingeman 1 (6:26 am & 2:42 pm): 18 - 23 seats
Dingeman 2 (6:57 am & 3:12 pm): 4 - 12 seats
EBS (6:26 am & 2:42 pm): 14 - 18 seats
Swan Lake (6:58 am & 3:14 pm): 22 - 26 seats
