It is time to update your child's transportation information for the 2025-26 school year

Easy-to-follow directions for accessing ParentVUE are online, and your student’s school can provide additional assistance.
Bus stops and pick-up/drop-off times will be available via Versatrans e-link on July 21 after 7:30 p.m.
Transportation information must be updated by July 15 to be included in the bus stops and pick-up drop off times posted on July 21.
Transportation information should be updated prior to Aug. 1 to ensure that changes are reflected in your student’s bus route when school begins.
Bus numbers will be shared with families closer to the beginning of the school year.

Bird High hovercraft event never disappoints
At the end of each school year, Bird High students in the Governor’s Academy for Engineering Studies work for weeks to build hovercraft they can race in the school gym. This inventive, competitive, often hilarious tradition brings together teams of students who choose creative themes for their leaf-blower-powered designs.
During the two-day hovercraft extravaganza, costumed students navigate their hovercraft through a slalom course and compete in races against other teams in front of a live audience. The most successful teams balance speed with the ability to steer their floating vehicles at the turnaround point.
