Student ID Cards and Bus Transportation

ID Card Use

At River Trails Middle School, IDs will have multiple uses, and should be worn daily on the lanyard provided.

Families currently signed up for transportation should have already received route information by email.

  • Route information is also available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal under:
    • Forms → Transportation and Replacement IDs
  • You can also request a replacement ID through this form at any time during the year.
  • If you need help accessing your PowerSchool account, contact aperez@rtsd26.org.
