ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Orange County Public Schools is asking families that plan to use bus services for the 2024-2025 school year to register their child or children.
Due to the ongoing shortage of bus drivers, the school district said registering students for the bus will allow transportation services to provide the most efficient routing across the county.
Families that are eligible for bus services can access their Skyward Parent Portal account to complete the OCPS School Bus Registration Form.
The form will have a dropdown to choose ridership for each child, in the morning, afternoon, both, or not at all.
If families have issues accessing their Skyward account, they should reach out to their child’s school for assistance.
By registering ahead of the school year, the district hopes to reduce bus delays and allow for streamlining of routes.
