Opt-in for bus transportation
On July 29, 2021, the Office of Transportation Services (OTS) will conduct a student ridership survey for all eligible riders. It is important that parents respond to the survey by August 4, 2021 and submit a separate survey for each of their children enrolled in FCPS. If the survey is not completed and returned, the student will not be added to a bus route at the beginning of the school year.
During the school year, changes to the intent form can be made by contacting Cooper at: 703-442-5800, changes to transportation needs can take up to five days to update transportation schedules.
If you have any questions, please contact our school's transportation office, at Area 4 Transportation, 703-429-7100.
Thank you!
