🚌 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!

UPDATE from Transportation team - Please see corrected times!

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

Hello Rexburg Community! Voting is next week, and we want to remind our community what the levy on the ballot is for.

The levy would be used to bridge the gap between what state funding provides and the realities of today’s costs of operating and maintaining our schools. From transportation and safety to curriculum, technology, and staffing, these are the day-to-day expenses that keep our schools running.

All district finances are transparent and publicly available. We understand school funding can often be generalized or misunderstood, which is why we encourage our community to stay informed, ask questions, and have conversations with local district leadership about how funding impacts our schools each day.

If you would like to talk through district finances or ask questions directly, our Finance Manager, Blake Snedaker, is available at our temporary district office trailers located on the west side of the Bobcat Fieldhouse. We would be happy to help answer questions and provide information so our community can make informed decisions. #wearemadison


“The estimated average annual cost to the taxpayer on the proposed levy is a tax of $52.97 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value, per year, based on current conditions. The proposed levy replaces an existing levy that expires on June 30, 2026, that currently costs $52.97 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. Therefore, if the proposed levy is approved, the tax per $100,000 of taxable assessed value is not expected to change. The levy will be assessed for two years.”
