Students who live 3.5 miles or more from their school are entitled to free transportation to and from school under Missouri state law. The district may also provide transportation for students who live closer to school in some circumstances. If you're unsure whether your child qualifies, call our office at 573-785-5801.

Use our Infofinder i tool — just enter your address and ZIP code to find your child's stop and pick-up/drop-off times. You can also filter by grade level and school. Note that results may show multiple schools served at your address, so be sure to check the correct school stop for your child. Full route lists by school are also available on this page.

If your child's bus is significantly delayed or does not arrive, please contact our office at 573-785-5801. We recommend having your child at the stop a few minutes before the scheduled time, as buses run on tight schedules and cannot always wait.
