Bus Eligibility

Find out if your child is eligible for school bus transportation, learn how eligibility is determined, and find the school that serves your address.

How eligibility is determined

School bus eligibility is based on several factors, including your child’s grade level, home address, and the school that serves your address. Walking distance requirements help determine eligibility while supporting safe and efficient transportation throughout New Frontiers School Board.
