Please Note: Parents wishing to receive transportation services for the 2025-26 school year may do so by accessing "PARENT PORTAL" in FOCUS, locate the "PERMISSIONS" tab (from the multi-colored tabs on the left sidebar), and select the line that states "my child will need bus transportation for the 2025-26 school year." If you've opted in for transportation services in the past the line will signify "YES" but if not, it will be blank. If blank, please select "yes" and SAVE (red button top left hand corner)". This notifies the transportation department of your wish to receive services. Failing to do so will result in our inability to locate your child and provide the services you desire.
Florida law specifies that each parent is responsible for the transportation of his or her child to and from the VPK program. Bay District Schools provides limited free transportation. VOLUNTARY PRE-KINDERGARTEN (VPK) PROGRAM 4. Transportation is only to and from regular school bus stops during the regular school times. No special transportation arrangements are available.
Please call the Transportation Department at (850) 767-4495, or email us at BusTrans@bay.k12.fl.us, to report any inconsistencies or to verify attendance zone and transportation eligibility information.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Any student who resides more than a reasonable walking distance from his/her designated school is eligible to ride the school bus to and from that school, except students authorized to attend school outside their normal attendance zone. Pursuant to Florida Administrative Code, a reasonable walking distance is defined as " A reasonable walking distance for any student who is not otherwise eligible for transportation pursuant to Section 1011.68, F.S., is any distance not more than two (2) miles between the home and school".
- The address listed on Parent Portal is the address to be utilized by Bay District Schools Transportation Department. If you need to change this address, please provide your student's school with two documents claiming the new address.
