Bus Rosters for the 2026-2027 School Year
Dear Families,As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency, safety, and accuracy of our transportation system, including bus routes and schedules, we will be implementing an important update for the 2026–2027 school year.Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, the District will be implementing a non-district transportation designation for students who are regularly transported to and from school by a parent, guardian, or other caregiver. This change will allow our transportation records to more accurately reflect students' transportation needs rather than maintaining all students on active bus rosters. Accurate transportation information will help us develop more efficient bus routes, improve route planning, manage seating assignments, verify student locations at designated stops, and enhance our ability to account for students during daily operations and emergency situations.If your child’s transportation plans for the upcoming school year will be different than they were this past year, please contact Kari Walters at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or 814-342-1050 ext. 3111. Providing this information over the summer will help us develop accurate bus routes and schedules before they are finalized and communicated to families in August.If you have any questions or need to update your student’s transportation information, please do not hesitate to contact Kari.Thank you for your attention to this matter. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable summer!Sincerely,Kari WaltersTransportation CoordinatorPhilipsburg-Osceola Area School District
