🚌 IMPORTANT BUS ROUTE REMINDERS
As we get ready for the new school year, we want to share a few important transportation reminders with our families:
Please check BusRight for your student’s bus stop location and pickup time. Bus routes have changed this year, so please double-check your student’s information before the first day of school.
BusRight Information:
Parents of students using bus transportation should have received an email from the Transportation Department through BusRight, our bus transportation app. This email includes information to help you access your student’s transportation details.
If your child uses bus transportation and you have not received an email from BusRight, please contact the Transportation Department at caldwellb@msd321.com for assistance.
Be at the Stop 5 Minutes Early:
Students should be at their bus stop at least 5 minutes before their scheduled pickup time. This helps our buses stay on schedule and ensures students are ready when the bus arrives.
Riding a Different Bus or Using a Different Stop:
If your student will be riding a different bus home with a friend or getting off at a stop other than their assigned bus stop, they will need a signed permission note from a parent or guardian.
More Transportation Information:
Please visit the Transportation page on our district website for department contacts, BusRight app information, and additional transportation resources. Link: https://www.msd321.com/o/msd321/page/transportation
Thank you for helping us make transportation safe and smooth as we begin the new school year!
As we get ready for the new school year, we want to remind all new and returning families to download the MSD321 app and sign in to your Rooms account.
Rooms is our communication platform that teachers will use to stay connected with you and your student throughout the school year.
Rooms invitations have been sent out. To log in, use the phone number associated with your PowerSchool account. A confirmation code will be sent to that number for you to enter and complete the sign-in process.
If you choose to log in using the email address associated with your PowerSchool account, you will be prompted to create a password. If you did not receive a Rooms invitation or are having trouble signing in, please email chavezm@msd321.com for assistance.
Please also take a moment to make sure the email address and phone number associated with your PowerSchool account are current and correct. If you have a new email address or phone number, please update your information as soon as possible.
Important: Please do not list a work phone number as your day or primary contact number. Rooms may not be able to send messages and notifications to work phone numbers. Please use a personal mobile number whenever possible.
Thank you for helping us make sure you stay connected and receive important communication from your student’s school and teachers.
We’re excited for a great school year!

Dear Parents,
We have made changes this year to the SUMMER SCHOOL bus routes for several reasons. Students will need to go to the elementary school nearest their home, and a shuttle bus will pick them up from the elementary school and transport them to the middle school.
When school dismisses, buses will pick up students at the middle school and transport them back to the elementary school. Parents will be responsible for getting their students to and from the elementary school, as there will not be any neighborhood bus stops this year.
Bus schedules are as follows:
Students will load at their elementary school at 7:50 a.m., and buses will depart all elementary schools by 8:05 a.m. to arrive at the middle school by 8:20 a.m. Buses will depart the middle school at 12:07p.m. to transport students back to the elementary schools for the afternoon ride home.
This schedule does not apply to students with special needs who require specialized transportation and a bus aide.
If you have any questions, please contact our transportation team - 208-359-3265
Respectfully,
Madison Transportation Team
