The districts of Columbus, Hilliard and Dublin provide busing to our students. Districts need parents to complete the registration process independently by June or July using the links given below. This allows districts to set bus routes over the summer and have all students assigned to routes before school begins. If you live in a district listed below and would like to take advantage of bus transportation, please follow the instructions as outlined. Registration should be completed before the start of school. Students not signed up for busing by the deadline will not be guaranteed busing in the fall.
Districts currently providing busing to Sunrise Academy:
- Columbus
- Dublin
- Hilliard
Bus Registration by District of Residence
Columbus City Schools
Parents must register online before the start of school. Visit the Columbus City Schools webpage titled Charter and Non-Public Transportation linked here: https://www.ccsoh.us/Page/4818#:~:text=Charter%20%26%20Non%2DPublic%20Request%20for,completing%20an%20online%20Transportation%20Request.page and use the link to complete the online registration. The page includes a "how to" video should you need assistance.
CCS will send parents notifications of bus route assignments during the summer. Registrations will be reviewed to determine if transportation can be provided. If deemed impractical (typically due to distance), the office of transportation will notify you.
Dublin City Schools
Families must complete the online registration form ( linked here ) in order to receive busing. Registration should be done by July of every year.
(We recommend that all families register in order to qualify for payment in lieu of transportation should a bus not be provided).
Hilliard City Schools
Registration for busing must be completed every year by June 30 for new and returning students. Parents/Guardians should visit the district website at https://www.hilliardschools.org/bus-request/ and complete a Non-Public School Transportation form. Once your registration is received, district staff will review the information and determine if transportation can be provided or if it will be impractical. Routing schedules will be available online once complete. Parents can find their child's bus route online at: https://www.hilliardschools.org/BusStop/
If deemed impractical, you will receive a form offering Payment in Lieu of Transportation. Please sign the form and return it to the Hilliard Transportation office directly upon receipt.
Transportation arrangements for all students will be available on line (starting August 12th) at www.hilliardschools.org. Families are STRONGLY encouraged to use the on-line resources, as it is the best place to obtain the most accurate bus information. Hilliard Schools also highly recommends that you check multiple times prior to the start of the school year in the event of any changes that may occur.
