Dear Orange County Schools Families,

OCS Transportation is now assigning bus routes for the 2024-2025 school year on the traditional calendar. 

  • The first student day for schools on the traditional calendar is Monday, August 26, 2024. 
  • The last day to apply for bus transportation on the first day of school for the traditional calendar is Friday, August 9, 2024.


To ensure that your child(ren) will have a bus assignment when school starts, please read the following carefully:

  1. Did you move, or did your student move, to a new address this summer? IF YES:

    • Contact your child’s school to request a new bus route.
       

  2. Did your student move up to middle school (6th grade this year) or high school (9th grade this year)? IF YES:
     
    • Contact your child’s new school to request a bus route.
       
  3. If your student (1) did not move, and if your student (2) will not move up to middle or high school this year, did your student ride the bus during the last two weeks of the 2023-2024 school year? IF YES:

    • You do not need to call or contact your school, or OCS Transportation.

    • You do not need to do anything at this time.

    • Your student will be seated on a bus route.


For all requests after August 9, students will be assigned to a bus route two weeks after school starts, or starting September 9, 2024.

If you have questions about bus transportation, you can contact the front office at your child’s school or call OCS Transportation at (919) 732-2531, Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
