IMPORTANT: New Bus Numbers

/in /by

Please note, the town of Manchester is using a NEW bus company this year so the bus number for your child has likely changed from last year.  Please expect some bumps for the first few days as the new company gets to know our town.

If you are a Manchester resident and signed up for your child to use the school bus, please click HERE to access information for your street (this link is the only information the town/bus company has provided our school thus far – we apologize that bus scheduling has not been as smooth as in prior years).
