1. Get your child up -to -date on their immunizations
Iowa law requires students to have certain immunizations and vision and dental screenings before starting school in the fall. Students will not be able to attend school in the fall without proof of the required immunizations and screenings.
If you cannot get an appointment through your family doctor before the start of school, please contact the Siouxland District Health Department at (712) 279-6119

3. Apply for bus transportation
Elementary and middle school students who live over two miles and high school students living over three miles from their assigned boundary school are eligible for bus transportation. Families may also request paid busing if space is available on an existing route.
For enhanced safety, new technology is available on district buses which will allow you to track your student riding the bus in real-time. Students are required to scan new bus passes when entering or exiting the bus. Your student’s bus pass will be printed once we have received and approved your completed Transportation Request Form. Passes will be given to K-12 students during Back to School Night on August 20 and during laptop checkout for middle and high school students before the school year begins.
