Battle Ground Public Schools contracts with First Student, which has an outstanding safety record, to provide bus service for students.
Every day, 128 buses fan out across the 273-square-mile district to deliver approximately 5,700 of our students to and from school. The buses travel 11,720 miles daily, not counting field trips, athletic events, etc.
Request bus transportation through Skyward Family Access.
For questions about school district bus service, call:
First Student at 360-841-7099 Ext. 1 or
Our school district transportation office at 360-885-6577.
Please click the Google sheet. Each bus route is on its own sheet. Use the tabs at the bottom to navigate.
Due to road construction in many areas of the district, some buses may need to take a detour and/or may be delayed. Download the First View bus app to see where your child’s bus is on the route.
If snow routes are in effect in the morning, those same buses will be on snow routes in the afternoon, too, regardless of the weather by that time. For snow routes, if your bus stop is different from your regular stop, then a guardian must meet their child at the snow route stop at the end of the day or the student will be transported back to school.
Please call First Student at 360-841-7099 for more information.
