There is no need to register for bus transportation. If your student qualifies for bus transportation, no further action is required beyond checking your Parent Portal - Infinite Campus for route information one week prior to the start of school.

To see if your student qualifies for bus transportation, go to the Attendance Area Finder and type in your house number or street name. If the transportation zone listed indicates “transportation provided,” your student qualifies for bus transportation to and from school. 

If the transportation zone information indicates "transportation NOT provided," your student does NOT qualify for bus transportation and you will need to make alternative arrangements to get your student to and from school. 

You can find your student's school bus route and pick up/drop off times by checking your Parent Portal - Infinite Campus one week prior to the start of school.

1. Log into your Parent Portal

Students who qualify for school bus transportation:

• K-5 students to students who live 0.8 miles or more from their elementary school
• 6-12 students who live 2 miles or more from their secondary school
• Students who live in a designated safety zone

To see if your student qualifies for bus transportation, go to the Attendance Area Finder and type in your house number or street name. If the transportation zone listed indicates “transportation provided,” your student qualifies for bus transportation to and from school. 

If the transportation zone information indicates "transportation NOT provided," your student does NOT qualify for bus transportation and you will need to make alternative arrangements to get your student to and from school. 

Why isn't everyone provided a school bus?

State law requires public school districts to provide free transportation for all students living 2 or more miles from their school.

The District will follow existing policy and administrative procedure. Using the Attendance Area Finder, if your daycare is in a transportation zone that indicates "transportation provided," bus transportation will be provided. If the transportation zone information for your daycare indicates "transportation NOT provided," bus transportation will NOT be provided and you will need to make alternative arrangements. If your daycare is within a designated safety zone, bus transportation will be provided. 

To see if your student qualifies for bus transportation, go to the Attendance Area Finder and type in your house number or street name. If the transportation zone listed indicates “transportation provided,” your student qualifies for bus transportation to and from school. 

• If transportation is provided to the assigned school for the address you moved to, please contact Schmitty and Sons (our contracted bus company) at 952-985-7513 to add your student to a bus route.

If the transportation zone information indicates "transportation NOT provided," your student does NOT qualify for bus transportation and you will need to make alternative arrangements to get your student to and from school. 

The District Transportation Safety Committee developed criteria to designate safety zones. The committee was comprised of Board of Education members, principals, administration, Schmitty & Sons Bus Co., city of Lakeville and Lakeville Police Department officials. The full list of criteria considered during the process can be found in the Lakeville Area Schools Safety Zone Criteria. There is an appeal form attached within the safety zone criteria. Appeals are for safety zone issues only, not for bus stop location requests.
