Transportation Deadline: Complete Enrollment by Aug. 18 to Guarantee Your Bus
To ensure a smooth start to the school year and help us provide bus information earlier, all families must complete enrollment by Tuesday, August 18 at 10 a.m. to guarantee their student will have a bus assigned for the first day of school. If enrollment is completed after August 18 but before the first day of school, we will do our best to assign a bus stop and provide transportation as quickly as possible (within 4-5 days), but we cannot guarantee service will be available on the first day.
Completed enrollment includes:
- Proof of residency (two required forms)
- Immunization records
- Contact information for at least one guardian and at least one emergency contact
- Proof of parental or legal guardianship, if requested
We know this is a new change to our enrollment process, which is why we want to make sure you are aware. If you need assistance completing enrollment, please contact our school or the district at 816-321-5000. This change will help us plan routes more efficiently, reduce last-minute changes, and provide a seamless transportation experience on the first day of school.

Due to winter weather, we need to make up five school days (due to closures on February 12, 18, 19 and 20, and March 5) to meet state guidelines. Pending final approval by the Board of Education next Tuesday, we will now be in session on the following dates: March 21, April 18, May 27, May 28, May 29.
Registration is now open for all students, both new and returning for the 2024-2025 school year! Each student must have completed enrollment and registration each year. You can access this process online through the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
