Dear Intermediate and Middle School Parents/Guardians,
In March, the district purchased transportation software, Transfinder, to assist the Transportation Department in routing and scheduling to provide safe, efficient and cost-effective student transportation. Per the NJ Department of Education, the distance between a student’s home and school is measured by the shortest distance along public roadways or walkways between the entrance to the student's home and the nearest public entrance of the school building. This measurement is for eligibility purposes only and is not necessarily your child’s travel path to or from school. Based on Transfinder’s calculations for the 2024-2025 School Year, the district is offering subscription busing to students in the Intermediate and Middle School who live 1.7 miles or more from school at a rate of $100 for the year. If seats are available after those students who live 1.7 miles or more are counted, the additional seats will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.
The district will be evaluating the transportation throughout the year. We are continuously working toward finding solutions and making positive changes that will improve our services.
Please see the links below for instructions and the application.
Thank you for your patience and support during this transition period.
