Please fill out one form per child to request shuttle service. Students will be assigned a shuttle bus on a space available basis. By submitting this form, it will be assumed that your child will ride the shuttle bus daily unless you contact your school office otherwise. Please submit request by 12:00 p.m. on Friday, August 26.
