EXPECT DELAYS: Our First Time Bus Riders Are Learning the Way 🚌
The first few weeks of school are an exciting time, especially for our youngest students and first time bus riders. As drivers, schools, and families help students learn their routes, pickup and drop-off times may take a little longer than usual.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as everyone settles into a safe and successful routine.

Want to know where your child's bus is? Track it in real time using our bus tracking app: https://www.nassau.k12.fl.us/o/ncsd/page/bus-tracking-apps

Thank you for partnering with us to help make the first days of school a great experience for every student.
