If you do not have a ParentVUE account, please contact the school of any of your students to request an Activation Letter.

Click below for important resources and FAQs about everything you need to know for the start of the school year. Download this 2024-2025 Online Verification Checklist to help you keep track of everything you need to do and know.

Please note: Because Transportation continues to make updates to student transportation, parents are asked to check transportation information the evening before the start of school and periodically throughout the year for any changes. Parents are also notified via email when changes are made to their student’s transportation.
