FCS will be providing transportation for our magnet students! The PCI Magnet Bus will depart from and return to each magnet student’s zoned school.

To make this process smooth and easy, parents will need to drop off their students at their zoned school on time to catch the PCI Magnet Bus, and pick them up from their zoned school after the bus drops them off.

Below, you’ll find the departure and drop-off times for the PCI Magnet Bus. We’re excited to support our magnet students and ensure they have a great experience!

Thank you for your cooperation!
