βœ… Child care assistance for qualifying participants
βœ… Federal student loan forbearance and interest repayment
βœ… A predictable daytime schedule with no evenings or weekends
βœ… Time off during most school breaks and holidays

USC Families,
As we move into the middle of June, this is a friendly reminder to please complete your transportation registration forms for the upcoming 2026–2027 school year if your child(ren) will need school transportation services.
As we continue planning bus routes and schedules for next school year, we ask that families complete one form per student needing transportation. For example, if you have three students riding the bus, the form will need to be submitted three separate times.
Please note that families who live in town are also asked to complete the form.
To assist us with route planning and scheduling, we ask that forms be completed by July 15, 2026. Later this summer, families will receive additional communication with confirmed pick-up and drop-off locations and times.
You may access the transportation registration form here:
https://forms.gle/YPxqB19NBzfzbn2b6
Thank you for your help as we prepare for another great school year at USC!
