Good morning,
All student pick up and drop off times for daily bus routes are listed on Skyward. Under your family access you will click on transportation and the address of the bus stop and time will be listed. These times may vary by up to ten minutes on the first few days of school as the drivers get accustomed to new routes and as students get used to bussing procedures again.
Under bus code it lists the town the bus is going to, the bus numbers are as follows:
Rio Route= Bus #1
Wataga Route = Bus #3
Altona Route = Bus #4
TRAIL/Knoxville Route = Bus #5
A-Town Route = Bus #10
Victoria Route = Bus #13
Central Route = Bus #18
The week of August 17th, we will launch the BusRight parent app. This app will allow parents to see live estimated arrival times on the route daily as well as give the drivers turn by turn directions to each bus stop.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Gullstrand at ggullstrand@rowva.k12.il.us.
Have a great weekend!
