OA Reminder: The Transportation Department is finalizing bus routes for the new school year. To ensure the most accurate and consistent schedules, we're asking all families to fill out a transportation survey. Your response helps us plan routes based on actual rider counts.

Complete the survey: Please fill out this Transportation Survey - https://forms.gle/RbeVqCBeBWk5TJ6P7, even if your child will not need bus service. Your input is valuable for accurate planning.

Routes available on My Ride K-12: Bus routes for the 2025-2026 school year will be available on the My Ride K-12 app on the morning of Friday, August 29th.

Check again on September 2nd: Please check the app again on September 2nd for any possible changes to your child's route.

Need to make a change? If your transportation needs change at any point during the school year, please contact the Transportation Office at 607-687-7305 or use the Let's Talk! - https://www.oacsd.org/page/lets-talk form.
