Adding or Changing Bus Services

To use the bus service, you need to:

  1. Go to a WDMCS school or Sacred Heart School.
  2. Go to the school assigned to your home's location.
  3. Live outside the walk zone for your assigned school.

WDMCS offers bus transportation to families who live in either a free zone or pay zone of the student's designated school. Some areas are considered a walk zone, and bus transportation is not available. To learn more, please see the details below and refer to Board Policy 710.02, which details student eligibility for busing. Contact the Transportation Department at 515-633-4902 to confirm which zone you live in.
