West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District

Important 2025-2026 Transportation Information:

Important Notice for High School North and Community Middle School Parents: 
Please be aware that Millstone Road will be closed commencing on July 7, 2025 for road work. The work is expected to last five months, at a minimum. Please utilize the bus service provided, instead of driving your child to school, to minimize the amount of traffic on the road. Heavy traffic will affect arrival and departure times to school, so please be mindful of this.

Reminder to Parents:
If you move over the summer, be sure to notify the registrar before Aug. 22, 2025. Transportation cannot be guaranteed for the first day of school otherwise.

Alternate transportation requests must also be received in the Transportation Department no later than Aug. 22. Forms received later than this date won’t be able to be in effect until Sept. 17, 2025. Alternate requests do not carry over from year to year. Students are entitled to one seat, on one bus, morning and afternoon. This applies to joint custody situations as well.

Bus passes will be available in Genesis after Friday, Aug. 22, 2025. Important Please look at the bus pass to ensure the information is correct. Contact our office by Tuesday, Aug. 26, to see if a change is possible. 

School Messenger/Text Alerts:
Make sure your correct cell phone number is in Genesis, as a primary contact and is listed as a cell phone (not home or work phone), in order to receive important text messages concerning your bus route. Messages regarding delays are sent out when the department is informed of an issue. 

What School?
If you are trying to determine what school your child will attend, based on the street on which you live, this information can be found on the district website. Go to:

Tips if you have questions on the first day of school:

 *Bus pass information for the 2025-26 school year will be available after Friday, Aug. 22, 2025. Please print your child’s bus pass, and have them carry it in their backpack. 

*Arrive at your bus stop 10 minutes prior to scheduled time, to ensure no last minute rushing and running to the stop.

*Be patient while waiting! We know you are excited! However, fluctuations in schedules do happen, due to road conditions, detours, accidents, traffic volume…... If your child has waited longer than 10 minutes and the scheduled pickup time has passed; call our office to check for an update on the location of the vehicle. Do not call the office if it has been less than 10 minutes. Calling too soon ties up the phone lines unnecessarily. Also, if you are calling from a group bus stop location, designate one person to be the caller. If the whole group calls at the same time, we aren’t able to help answer your questions efficiently! 

*Children will be assigned a permanent seat within the first two weeks of school. They must sit in the same seat every day. 

*Lost items on buses, if found, will be held by the driver at the front of the bus. Have your child speak to the driver the next time that they ride, so they may claim their item.

*If you don’t plan on having your child ride the bus, and instead wish to transport on your own, please notify the transportation dept. We will make note of the information in your child’s record. When you wish to resume transportation, just give us a call, (and three days’ notice) and we will reinstate your child on the bus.

The Transportation Department receives many requests for bus/stop changes.  These requests must be for safety reasons only and approved by the Transportation Coordinator. All requests must be submitted in writing and will be handled case by case as they are received.

Please note that bus drivers are not permitted to make changes to bus routes or stops without prior approval of the Transportation Coordinator. Also, students are only permitted to ride on the bus to which they have been assigned; students cannot change buses for any personal matters.
