As JCPS prepares for the upcoming 2026-27 school year, the District needs to know how your child will get to and from school. The JCPS Transportation Verification (TV) form is now open. Every JCPS family must complete this form, letting us know how your child will get to and from school: JCPS bus rider, car rider, walker, or YMCA Childcare Enrichment Program (CEP). Note: YMCA CEP registration opens in mid-May.
The final day to request bus transportation for the first day of school is June 8, 2026. Eligible bus riders who fill out the Transportation Verification form by June 8, 2026, will be notified of their bus stop location in July via the JCPS Bus Teller. More information on Bus Teller will be provided to families this summer. The first day of school for 2026-27 is August 6, 2026.
