Students attending these schools can ride a bus to their boundary determined neighborhood high school. A second bus will pick students up from the high school and shuttle them to their school. Parents can also drop their children off at their neighborhood high school, and students can then take only the shuttle bus.

Shuttle buses leave from the high school at 7:15 a.m.

There is an exception for students living in the Fletcher High School area. Two buses -- one in the north beach area, the other in the south beach area, will pick students up at public locations and take them to Fletcher Middle School where they will be shuttled to their school.

Shuttle buses leave Fletcher Middle School at 7 a.m.
