Get bus info online in District 158

Parents in Huntley Area District 158 can check their child's bus route using a secure and unique password supplied by the school district.

This year, the district has again linked its bus routing software to E-Link, which gives parents updates on routes and bus stops.

Fall bus route information will be available Monday, July 25. For more information, parents can call the transportation department at (847) 659-3000 or email at transportation@d158.org.

Parents are advised to double check their child's bus route information the day before school starts to obtain the most up-to-date information. During the first week of school, which starts Aug. 24, the district may be working out some scheduling and routing kinks. Parents should check E-link periodically to view any adjustments or changes.
