All students must register each year — including those in self-contained ESE programs.
Need help? We’ve got you covered with a step-by-step tutorial to walk you through the process. From logging into Focus to viewing bus stop information, it’s all explained.

Register as early as possible to ensure your child will have a bus stop by the first day of school, which is August 11. The earlier you register, the better!
