Student Services News

The bus form for next school year is now available in Family Access. All students who need bus service this fall (September 2024) will need a new bus form filled out now.

Why?

• Due to bus capacity and staffing, Palmer Bus needs to route buses every summer.
• The earlier we get forms, the easier it is to create and adjust routes as necessary.
• In order to insure your student has busing the first day of school, you must submit your form now. We cannot guarantee busing during the first week of school if a bus form isn’t filled out early.

Instructions

• Log into Family Access
• Click on Online Forms, then ‘fill out form’
• Fill out the form then click submit. View this video for help.
• New this year—if you have no address changes you can indicate that on step 1 and skip to the end!
• If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school.

FAQs

• Q: What if I’m not sure my child will need busing?  A: Please submit a form! If you change your mind, the route will be removed after the first weeks of school.
• Q: My student lives in split households. How do I fill out the form?  A: Fill out the alternate address notes in section 2 of the bus form.
• Q: I don’t know my Family Access login.  A: Click the “forgot my password” link on the login page or contact your child’s school.
• Q: I am logged in but I don't see the form.  A: Make sure you a logged into Family Access, not your student's skyward account. The upper left should read Skyward Family Access (not Student Access). See previous question for help getting logged into Family Access.
