Transportation

The Dairyland Group provides transportation services for Muskego-Norway Schools. If you are looking to enroll your child(ren) in bus services or if you are looking to modify your current service or add multiple stops, please complete the Bus Form as soon as possible. Please note, if your child(ren) already had transportation services last year and nothing has changed, you do not need to fill out the bus form. Your child(ren) will be automatically enrolled for the upcoming year. If you do fill out a form, a representative from Dairyland will be in contact with you. Questions or concerns related to a student bus route can be directed to Dairyland by calling 262-203-9938 or sending an email to muskegoquestions@ridesta.com. If you have general district transportation questions, please contact Jamie Gleeson, Finance Manager, at 262-971-1800 x2111.

Important Bus Routing Information

On August 19, you will be able to see routing information uploaded into Infinite Campus. It is important to note that as families make changes to their transportation requests, the posted information is subject to change. Please review your child(ren)’s routing information to verify accuracy. If you are requesting a change to your child(ren)'s bus route, please make the request no later than 12:00 PM on August 28. Any changes submitted after this date will not be put into effect until after September 16. If you are an active subscriber to the Stopfinder app, you are also able to see your child(ren)’s routing information there. If you have not used the Stopfinder app in the past, an invitation will be sent out no later than August 20. If any routing changes need to be made, please reach out to Dairyland directly by calling 262-203-9938 or emailing at muskegoquestions@ridesta.com.

Prior to her work at CESA 1, she was the Director of Student Services in our district. We are thrilled to welcome her back to the district leadership team, confident that she is extremely well-prepared to lead student services and drive continuous improvement efforts for our system.
