Do you have a student using the bus shuttles to get to or from their grade-level attendance center? Students will need to be “routed” in the transportation system, meaning students will have a specific pick-up location and will need to use a bus badge (card) to get on/off the school bus. For routing information, please email Anna Carlson at anna.carlson@mtpcsd.org.
