ISD 728 Transportation
ISD 728 Transportation is working to prepare bus routes for the 2026-2027 school year. If your student falls under one of the criteria listed below, you MUST submit a transportation request through this online process by June 30, 2026. Once logged in the Campus Parent Portal, the survey is located under ‘Message Center’ and then ‘Surveys.’ One survey per student should be completed.
- Grade 11 or 12: A Student Transportation Request Survey in Campus Parent Portal is required for any 11th or 12th grade student that wishes to ride the bus. The request must be completed by June 30, 2026 to ensure it is ready for the first day of school.
- Open-Enrolled: Students who are open-enrolled into non-magnet programs, but attending an ISD 728 school, must complete a Student Transportation Request Survey in Campus Parent Portal to be assigned to bus routes. Bus stop locations are determined by space available on district buses, not necessarily by the distance to your home, and will be located within the school boundary of attendance, if available. Families will be required to transport the student to and from the bus stop location as not all locations will be within walking distance.
- Magnet Student: Students who live inside the ISD 728 District boundary and attend Rogers Elementary or Salk Middle School, must complete a Student Transportation Request Survey in Campus Parent Portal to be assigned to bus routes.
- Students who live outside of the ISD 728 District boundary and within the approved Northwest Suburban Integration School Districts (NWSISD), will be assigned to busing based on information that was collected during the registration process. Please contact your school if your address changes or you have not requested busing for the school year.
- Students who live outside of the ISD 728 District boundary and within the approved Northwest Suburban Integration School Districts (NWSISD), will be assigned to busing based on information that was collected during the registration process. Please contact your school if your address changes or you have not requested busing for the school year.
- Alternate Locations (i.e. Daycare, Second Household): Families will continue to be given the option to request an alternative stop location, such as a daycare or second household, providing it results in one consistent morning and afternoon bus assignment per student. Students cannot be assigned to multiple routes and changes during the school year require a new form.
Daycare locations must be within the district/school boundary of attendance and outside the walk zone. If your student is attending EdVenture Club and will not require transportation, please let us know so they can be removed from busing.
For second households, the address must meet eligibility guidelines and replaces the primary address.
- Does NOT need bus transportation: A parent should complete the Student Transportation Request Survey in Campus Parent Portal to remove their student completely from transportation. To resume using District transportation in the future, a new Student Transportation Request Survey must be submitted to be added to the bus routes.
If you have already completed a Student Transportation Request Survey for next school year, nothing further is needed. See isd728.org/transportation for details.

There will be an optional but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED choreography workshop on August 3rd from 6-8pm in the PAC.
Attendance Reminders
A reminder that as the weather warms, RHS does not have an open campus. Students who are scheduled to be here for in person classes or lunch are not allowed to leave to go to their cars, coffee shops, restaurants or home.
Please plan ahead for your student's appointments/early dismissals. It is important to communicate with your student when they are to leave. While we understand that last minute needs do arise, we try to minimize interrupting class time. Students that are leaving for appointments during the day will not receive a pass, it will be updated in their attendance.
PSEO and online students ARE allowed to leave the building during times they do not have in-person classes or lunch. If choosing to remain on campus, they need to remain in the Media Center
