Families may access information including school supply lists and upcoming events for their students, by navigating to the ‘Back to School’ page on each school’s dedicated webpage. Families can select their student’s school from the district’s website at www.clevelandschools.org.
Transportation
We understand transportation prompts questions regarding bus routes and schedules for the start of a new school year. While our transportation team has been working to ensure smooth transportation services, we kindly request your patience and understanding during the first few weeks of school. For those who have registered their child for transportation services, you will receive a notification containing their bus number, stop, and pick-up time approximately one week before classes start, provided they are eligible for bus transportation. A Parent Responsibility Zone (PRZ) is an area within 1.5 miles of the school that allows for either safe walking or parent transportation. These are posted on our transportation webpage. If you have any questions or concerns regarding transportation, please do not hesitate to contact our transportation department at 423-472-9576.
PowerSchool
We strongly encourage all families to utilize PowerSchool, a powerful tool that grants you access to essential information about your child's schedules, grades, and attendance. Stay informed and involved in your child's education by taking advantage of this valuable resource.
