• Bus Routes SY 25-26

  Wednesday, August 27, 2025

  Good morning,

  Please log into your child's Genesis account and then look under the "Bus" tab to see if he/she is scheduled to be on a bus route this coming school year.  If you see a route number, then follow the below steps to find the route specifics.

  Go to http://www.clarkschools.org.

  Select the "More" tab towards the top right of the page.

  Select the "Departments" sub-tab from that list.

  Select the "Business Office" sub-tab from that list.

  Click on the "2025-2026 Route Summaries" link toward the bottom left of that page.

  A link to that document is also included below for your convenience.

  https://tinyurl.com/33anh9tz

  If you do not see a route number within Genesis, then your child will not be receiving transportation through the school this year (with the exception of UCVTS students who are eligible for transportation there despite not having a route number in Genesis).

  Below is a link to a document that explains how UCVTS busing is impacted in inclement weather.

  Please email Mrs. Christine Unish, Transportation Secretary, at cunish@clarkschools.org with any questions.

  As always, thank you.  Enjoy the rest of the week ahead.
