Support Ryan Elementary Through Cash For Classrooms

Every day, our teachers and staff dream up new ways to help students learn and thrive.

When you give through Cash For Classrooms, 10% of every donation comes back to Ryan to support students and classrooms. If we reach our fundraising goal, that grows to 15%!

Last year, Ryan Elementary received:
A $2,585 grant for Sphero Indie robots, expanding hands-on coding and STEAM exploration through screen-free learning.
Together, we can help Ryan earn more for our students while supporting innovative ideas across CUSD.

CUSD Families and Community~

Welcome to the 2026-27 School Year! Transportation is excited to share that we have implemented a new routing software, one that is more efficient and works strategically with our goal of transporting students to and from safely.
Our team has been working diligently learning the system, creating routes, and assigning students.
With that said, we are still in the process of doing so and ask for patience and grace as we continue to navigate our new norm.

A few VERY important things to keep in mind:
🚦 If you have not registered yet, please do so: Parent Portal > More > Transportation Registration (this does not apply to ACP families, CTA Goodman, CTA Independence & Special Needs students with Transportation approval in their IEP)
🚦 If you have had an address change, please contact your school to have that updated ASAP. You can register for bussing after that is completely updated in your portal.
🚦 Beginning the week of July 6, students that have been assigned a bus route will be able to see those details in their Infinite Campus account. Parent Portal > More > Transportation. REMINDER: Not all assignments will be available as we are still in the process of approving and assigning students. We implore you to check your portal each day leading up to the start of school and thereafter.
🚦 We HIGHLY encourage you to check out our webpage @ Transportation for registration instructions, Here Comes the Bus app (GPS), commonly asked questions CUSD Transportation F.A.Q. and contact information.
The first several weeks of school produce an extremely high volume of calls and emails to our department. 🚦 Please know that we have an 'all office hands-on deck' policy when it comes to reception support and will always do our very best to serve you. Again, we ask for patience.
🚦 Last, but certainly not least, We Are Hiring...Bus Drivers! Apply at cusd80.com/apply.

Sincerely,
CUSD80 Transportation cusd80.com/transportation
