Transportation

Registration

McMinnville School District offers bus transportation to eligible students. Students must be registered for bus transportation. Registration helps increase student safety, monitors and improves arrival/departure times and better optimizes adequate and safe seating capacity.

Student transportation is provided by First Student.

• 2025-26 Bus Routes

  Buses for grades 7 – 8 will pick up four hours later than usual on Tuesday, Sept. 2, to accommodate the half-day schedule for upper grades on the first day of school.
