Transportation Registration for the 2021-2022 School Year
A new registration for riding the school bus is required from each student who meets the transportation eligibility guidelines for the current school year. One registration per family please. Transportation will start accepting new registrations starting Monday, May 11th. All registrations received will be time stamped with the date received by our office. Bus routes will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis until the bus is full, with any remaining registrations being put on a wait list until seats become available. You can email a completed registration form to cborrego@weld8.org.

Pick Up Times
If your child is assigned to ride the bus, transportation will notify the parents/guardian prior to school start with an estimated pickup time. This is only an estimate and can vary the first few weeks of school as additional riders may be added or deducted to routes. Please, have your students at the designated bus stop at leave 5 minutes before this estimated time.
What do school bus lights mean?
Flashing Yellow Lights - Slow down and use caution, the bus is approaching a student stop!
Flashing Red Lights - STOP, do not pass the bus. Students are actively loading or unloading the bus which could include crossing the street.
Together we can keep our kids safe!
