To find out what school district your current address falls under, please visit HERE!
If you have moved, we would like you to fill out either the Change of Address form (address change within the district)
or the School of Choice Application (if you are now residing out of the district)
Additionally, if you are not the homeowner, you need the Shared Household Affidavit form filled out by both the renter and the homeowner as proof of residing within the school district
If these forms aren't completed, your child risks not being enrolled at Lincoln Consolidated Schools for the upcoming school year.
All VA students can request transportation using the VA Bus transportation request form. Students are required to comin in for state testings and can utilize the bus system if needed for that.
The Lincoln student bus ridership program provides an extra layer of SAFETY by making sure students board the correct bus and preventing students from exiting at the wrong stop. Families feel a greater connection to their students with near real-time alerts as they board and depart the bus while drivers have an extra layer of protection in preventing students from getting off at the wrong stop.
Drivers will be enforcing the ridership program. In order to ride the bus to or from school, students can use:
Student ID badge (Previous year badges will work)
Device with the "Here Comes the Bus" app installed showing the barcode on the screen
Printed barcode from “Here Comes the Bus” app.
If you require a student badge, please contact us at transportationoffice@lincolnk12.org with your student’s name and school. Transportation will provide only two (2) badges during the course of the school year. A $5.00 fee will be assessed to replace additional badges.
Please help us by checking with your student before they leave for the bus stop to make sure they have their ID/Scan Code/Phone Barcode ready to enter the bus.
