Bus Pass Purchase Information for the 2025–26 School Year - School Starts on August 14, 2025
|
Families interested in bus transportation for the 2025–26 school year may purchase a bus pass now.
|
- Cost: $1,000 for the first student
- Sibling Rate: $500 per additional student in the same household
|
Bus routes and stops are created based on the addresses of students who purchase bus passes by Monday, June 30. We strongly encourage families to purchase early to benefit from a more convenient bus stop location.
Passes purchased after June 30 will only be accommodated if space is available. Students will be assigned to an existing route. Unfortunately, we are unable to make exceptions to this guideline and do not accept requests to add or modify bus stops.
|
When planning routes, First Student follows the guidelines listed below:
|
- Routes are approximately 45–60 minutes, including typical traffic conditions.
- Buses travel along major streets and stop at designated intersections—they do not enter subdivisions.
- Routes are designed to minimize street crossings near high-traffic areas or construction zones.
- Routes and stops may be adjusted due to road closures, traffic patterns, or other unforeseen factors. Any changes will be communicated by email as early as possible.
- Two students are seated per bench.
|
Final bus routes and stop locations will be posted on the District website and emailed to parents and students no later than Monday, August 11.

FAFSA Reminder for Seniors
|
Senior Graduation Requirement - State legislation requires public high school senior students to complete the FAFSA or a state aid application as a prerequisite to receiving a high school diploma. If a family chooses to not complete the FAFSA, students need to electronically complete the FAFSA Non Participation form at www.studentportal.isac.org in order to receive a diploma. Even if the student will not be attending college, a Non-Participation Form must be completed.

- Select Your Session
- "Our goal in every session is to create an image that reflects your style and personality. We want to capture the spirit inside and not run you through a series of canned poses. We don't ask you to "smile" during a session because we want to capture it when you actually do!"
