Alternate Bus Route Request
Dear Portland Parents/Guardians:
Each student in the Portland Public Schools is assigned a bus route based on the home address and school that the student is assigned. Parents and guardians are provided the option of selecting alternate pick-up and drop-off locations. If you do not need an alternate pick-up or drop-off location, you DO NOT need to complete the form. Due to the complex nature of creating bus routes, we ask that you complete this request for alternate bus routes by 5:00 pm on August 1st. This information will be shared with M&J Bus and used to create a.m. and p.m. bus routes for the 25-26 school year. Any requests for alternative bus routes after August 1st will not be honored until after the start of the school year. Once the school year gets underway, and we determine bus capacity, parents and guardians will have another opportunity to request alternative bus routes in mid-September.
*IMPORTANT - Please complete a separate form for each child.
Please direct questions about alternative bus route requests to your child's school:
