Follow these steps for a successful start to the new school year
The PWCS Transportation team can't wait to see your students. Please check your bus stop times in ParentVUE frequently as we start school. We are consistently adding new stops, more students, and balancing overloads. Please be patient the first week of school as some buses may run late while trying to get everyone back into a routine.
Be sure to download the Here Comes the Bus app to track your child’s bus in real-time. Additional sign-up instructions are available on the Here Comes the Bus webpage.
Questions about your student's bus transportation? Contact your school’s designated point of contact.
