🚌 BACK TO SCHOOL BUSING: SUBMIT YOUR REQUEST BY JULY 31!
Planning for the 2026-2027 school year is officially underway! Northern Lights Public Schools is now accepting transportation requests. To guarantee your child has a seat reserved for the first day of school (Monday, August 31, 2026), please submit your request by Friday, July 31, 2026.
Submitting on time ensures efficient routing, helps the division map the best paths possible, and prevents frustrating start-of-year busing delays!
📝 How to Register in School Engage:
Returning Riders: Check your email! A 2026-2027 Transportation Update and Verification Form has been sent to you via School Engage to confirm your seat for next year.
New Riders: If your child is new to NLPS or didn't ride the bus last year, please fill out the 2026-2027 Transportation Request Form in School Engage.

đź’° Fees & Payment Information
Good news for family budgeting—all NLPS transportation fees are remaining the same for the 2026-2027 school year!
Fees will be posted to your School Cash Online account in September, with full payment due by February 1, 2027. We recognize that school fees can be a challenge, so flexible installment payment plans are available. Families may also apply for a financial fee waiver through the Transportation Department based on household income guidelines.
⏳ What Happens Next?
Once you hit submit, look for a confirmation email (remember to check your spam folder if you don't see it!). Bus routes will be finalized over the summer, and families will be directly notified of their specific routes, pickup, and drop-off locations between August 24 and 28.
Please note: Late applications received after the July 31 deadline will be accommodated where possible, but students may not be assigned a seat until the week of September 8 or may be placed on a waiting list depending on bus capacity.
