Parents - remember these times are ONLY for the first day of school. Campuses will go back to the regular start times on Thursday.

We know how special the first day of school is for our Little Raiders and for you, their parents.

From Director of Transportation Todd Staley: 2023-2024 Transportation Update
The start of school is just around the corner. The beginning of school is always rough getting everyone transported. Our goal is to streamline the process by verifying everyone who desires bus transportation. Our desire is that no one gets missed. The following will need to be done each year moving forward. Doing so will ensure I have your child listed on the route for the driver.
If you rode a bus last year, please fill out an existing rider form on the transportation website. Use QR Code or the link below to get to the website.
If you are new to Sunnyvale or wishing to begin bus transportation, please fill out the New Rider Form on the transportation website at the link below.
All riders must read and complete the 2023-2024 Student Rider Agreement at the link below.
If you do not know which Bus you ride, check the website (link below).
Changes:
If you are in the Preserve, your new bus will be Bus 12.
If you live in the Stoney Creek Gated side, you will be on Bus 12.
First Day of School
Buses will run on a normal schedule on the first day. Buses will depart the lot between 6:45 a.m. and 6:55 a.m. If you rode the bus last year, your pick up time will be approximately the same time as last year for SES/SIS. MS/HS route will be between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. If you are out by the curb, our drivers will not miss you.
Get the APP!
The Viafy Parent App is a great tool to allow you to see your child’s bus. This will allow you to see when the bus is approaching. If you are not set up, contact Transportation to get credentials. Credentials are sent to the email used to enroll your child.
Thank you for allowing us to transport your child! Let’s make this a great Raider Year!
Thank you,
Todd Staley
