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.
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.

School Calendar Change
Tuesday, August 12, 2025
Good morning,
At last night's Board of Education meeting a calendar change was approved. September 16 will now be a full day of closure for students and teachers for the bond referendum vote while the Friday going into Presidents’ Weekend (February 13) will be the early dismissal day. Those two days essentially are being flipped. The revised calendar (with those two changes highlighted) is attached below.
As always, thank you for your flexibility. Be well.
