2023-2024 Bus Transportation

WCPSS Transportation is preparing for the next school year. Please read all of the important information below. 

Check Your Transportation Status 

View your student’s 2023-24 Transportation status via your student’s Homebase/Powerschool account. Sign up for an account at your student’s school. More information on Home Base is available at www.wcpss.net/student-information.  

Your student’s AM and/or PM transportation codes will display “Y” (yes) or “N” (no) for the 2023-24 school year until routes are posted. Routes usually are posted about 10 days before the start of the school year. 

  • If your student’s code is “Y” and your student will be using transportation next school year, no action is required.  

  • If your student’s code is “N” and you would like for your student to use transportation next school year, please submit a transportation request. 

  • If your student’s code is “Y” and your student will not be using transportation next school year, please submit the decline bus form at www.wcpss.net/declinebus.

If you need further assistance with bus service, contact your student’s school. 

Transportation Request Deadlines 

If you are not currently registered for transportation but would like service next school year, you must request transportation by the deadline listed below for your student's school calendar to ensure service on the first day. Please only request service if you plan for your student to be a regular rider. Students who don’t ride consistently will be removed from bus rosters. To register, go to www.wcpss.net/busrider. 

Deadlines:

  • Year-round calendar schools (regardless of track assignment): May 31 

  • Modified calendar schools: June 19 

  • Traditional calendar schools: July 17
