    • Families are now able to apply for yellow school bus service for the 2026-27 school year. Service levels and fees are outlined in the link below. Registration is available through your MyCBE account. (If you do not already have an account, learn how.) Families must apply by Sunday, June 14, 2026 for students to be added to routes for the start of the next school year. We continue to accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing bus stop with available space. Processing times for registrations submitted after the June 14 deadline will be delayed. It may take until mid-October before your child is able to ride the bus.
