Transportation Requests

Click HERE for Bus Request Form.

**Please submit at least 10 days prior to the first day of bus service for your student.

• To request regular transportation services, please fill out the Transportation Request form during online registration for the 2023-2024 school year, which opens July 15, 2023. 

• The Transportation Request form will close at the end of registration on July 23, 2023 to allow time to process all requests and finalize routes for the start of school. We will open up the Transportation Request form again on September 11, 2023 to process changes that may come up during the school year. 

• Central District 51 Transportation is able to accommodate one morning pick up location and one afternoon drop off location.  

• Students are only allowed to ride their regularly assigned bus.

• If a bus rider moves out of the district midyear, that student is permitted to attend Central District 51 for the remainder of the school year without payment of tuition. Transportation for the student to and from school shall be the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

Contact Cody Young, Transportation Director, at cyoung@central51.net with any questions.

 Stopfinder App

 Stopfinder is the app that parents can use to view and share transportation schedules. This app allows parents to track the bus in live time.  Bus times are not available in Skyward Family Access.

 The primary parent/guardian for each student should receive an invitation to access the app.  Please view the link below to watch an instructional video for more information.
