Transportation

stopfinder logoNCCS Transportation schedules are being finalized and communicated to families through email. Families do not need to call or email the Transportation Department to request transportation. Each eligible child will be routed on a school bus. Our staff are balancing routes, ensuring students are on the proper bus roster, and our drivers have started practicing driving and learning their routes preparing for the first day.

NCCS uses the Stopfinder app, a free app available for Apple and Android phones. From there, families will see their child's busing information by selecting the first day of school (August 19, 20, 25, and/or 26). Please double-check the app as the first day of school approaches for any adjustments as we continue to update our routes with new enrollees. 

Visit Transportation Department on our website for FAQs and other information. Any additional questions, concerns, or inquiries email to transportation@northcantonschools.org.
