After Hours Bus Hotline

We want to sincerely thank you for your patience as we continue making adjustments to our bus schedules. Like many districts, we are short on bus drivers, and this has caused delays for some of our students. Our Transportation Department is working diligently each day to update routes and improve efficiency.

If your child is no longer riding the bus, please contact your child’s school so we can make accurate changes. We also encourage families to download the "Here Comes the Bus" app to track your child’s bus in real time.

For after-hours bus concerns, please call 252-642-3681.

Thank you for your continued patience and support as we work to serve every student with excellence.
